You onviously have resistance somewhere in the circuit from the

ammeter/ignition switch/coil. Check that all connections are tight

and clean. You must have full battery voltage here or you will have

hard starting and erratic running. Try putting a jumper across the

switch terminal and see if this brings voltage up. If so the switch is

crook.
