Has anyone had a problem with magnetos going bad really fast?

I ran my bike for months w/o any magneto problems, but I just had my second magneto go bad in a week or two.....

Yes. They seem to run in batches. I've had brand new coils arrive bad.

Confusing. The black wire is the case ground. It shouldn't be in the coil. What do you mean by "the black wire comes straight out of the mag" ?

Got photos?
