Nope. Maybe the diode is throwing you? There is a diode in twin cylinder harnesses between the ignition coils. When you turn the key off, there is a ground present on that wire. That kills the spark. The rest of the key positions nothing should be present. Power sends the CD in the coils to heaven...
You want battery voltage and a ground present at the carb solenoid in all positions but off. On rare occasions I find that go away when cranking, which isn't helpful at all.
