Sparkplug, I think that your engine suffered a general 'meltdown' in the sense of catastrophic failure. It is difficult to know what happened first but it could be as simple as a chafed wire in the timing cover although than I would have expected a misfire first. There should be a small rubber grommet there.
I think that you can rest assured that this sort of failure is most uncommon with a Boyer and almost certainly caused by external factors.
Timing in itself couldn't make the Boyer pickup overheat and even engines that have seized due to lack of oil don't get hot enough to melt the wiring.
Maybe your poor old engine was shooting flames out underneath ? :shock:
