So is the electronic ignition box supposed to shock you?

Did you touch the transistor? Which looks to be a real transistor.

I would not expect to get a high voltage shock off the box but I recall something about the transistor being able to shock you or something like that.

Maybe the box is not well grounded???

If that little round silver doodad is the transistor, yeah I probably touched it. It wasn’t a big shock. Doesn’t the box ground through the housing? The box should be well grounded, it’s securely screwed tight to the passenger side fender well. I could take it off, clean the screws and scrape some paint off where it attaches to make sure.
