CDI shorting out

909

93 9.9 starts , runs, idles normally.

Makes a ticking sound.

Noticed spark on coming from the ground wire under the CDI bolted to the block.

Looked dangerous near fuel so I quickly shut it off.

What's the cause and what's the solution.

Can old plugs short ?

How do you fix this.
 
Thanks. So you think it's a bad ground.

The star washer creates a better ground by biting into the frame with more friction.
