The one I have does also have a wire from the magneto housing to the
spark plug but it also has two coming from the bottom of the
magneto/coil to a set of points and a condenser. The wire from the
points, condenser and magneto/coil are all soldered together with the
other wire from the underside of the magneto/coil going to earth. The
spark plug HT wire come from the top of this magneto/coil part..
Hope that makes sense.

PS I got it running yesterday, but it's running very erratic, and only
with the choke fully on. Guess I'll have to take the carb apart and
clean all that up.
If it only runs with full choke, it's running weak, almost certainly the air
filter (tiny scrap of sponge) is bunged up with crap. Try running it without
the filter, and if it works, replace it or blow out the old one if you have
the luxury of an air line.
Here's a page that might help you, it covers most engines/years. They're all
much of a muchness anyway.
