Dumbfounded. 340 will not start.

yeah, the coil could do that to ya if it was cracked up near the top of it. A close inspection of the coil would b good idea. (like if your leaning on the fender and the coil has a hair line crack, It might think "hey that dude looks like a good ground path") yeah I could see that happening. Might be a good alternative to coffee in the morn, haha. (jus kiddin)
