No mate, i've checked the wire all the way from the coil and the kill connector clears the plate easily. As far as the gaskets go I have put one behind the carby mounting plate where it bolts to the engine, I have put one on the front of the mounting plate before I put the large insulator gasket on and i've put one in front of the insulator before the bakelite spacer block goes on and i've put one between the carby and the spacer block, so there shouldn't be any air leaks. I've even checked for a loose/worn flywheel keyway and checked the bottom seal. I suppose as an elimination process I could remove the cut out wire altogether and see what happens, just pull the plug lead off to stop it, that would eliminate any issues with the wire.
