I am sitting here looking at the Onan Wiring diagram that Colonel Ken made. +12 volts should always be on one side of the K1 coil. The Onan board controls the K1 coil by applying ground (-12vdc) on the opposite side of the coil. There is one wire from the K1 coil to pin 7 on the Onan board. There should be no other wiring connections to either the coil terminal or pin 7 on the Onan board.

That said, Pin 7 on the Onan board goes only to the N/C point of K2 and no where else. So when K2 is powered by the 33VAC from the alternator, the K2 N/C point should open up and block any path to the ground side of K1. So at this point I would suggest that you have a wiring error, or a short on the board, or a tacked relay point on K2. Even if you had a tacked relay point, the voltage should drop to K1 when you remove your finger from both of the starting switches.

I guess that there is a possibility that there could be a worn spot on the coil that when energized the armature might short to. I have never seen this but it is the only idea that I have right now on what could be causing this problem. That is just a wild guess because I have never seen of or heard of this failure.
