From what I have read, the Boyer does switch off if the engine is not running to protect the coils from overheating.  What you are seeing on the ammeter could be correct.  I have been considering spark plugs too.  I am goIng to try projected tip plugs.  There is plenty of clearance from the piston and it puts the spark further into the combustion chamber.  If that works I was then going to try Iridium fine wire versions of the plugs.  You are already using fine wire Champions I think.  A projected tip platinum plug works a treat in my Venom and a Champion L3G has improved the running of my MZ TS250/1 a lot.
Smokey Paul had problems with the enrichment system at one time, passing all the time.  You seem to have the opposite problem if the plugs are dry.  Might be worth unscrewing it and checking it isn't blocked for some reason.
