The bolt towards the dip stick holds the ground strap on. Its only purpose is to provide a ground for the RPM limiter to send to the ignition coil when 3800 RPMs is reached. He should really remove the entire bracket and check the connections. Clean them all and clean the bracket too so it can provide a good surface for the ground strap. The bolt on the flywheel side is somewhat hidden but it's there.

This is the igniter. It is mounted on the back side of the bracket:

This is the RPM limiter:

If "Capt. Stoopid" is feeling industrious, he can remove the cooling duct shrouds and replace his ignition coil with a 1996.5+ one with the igniter built in, ditch the little problematic one, and hook his RPM limiter back up. If it still does it, then the RPM limiter is bad (it's the most likely culprit anyway) and he can replace it too. That way, he will be set up like the 1996.5 and up carts which rarely--if ever--give problems in the ignition system. Just be sure to get the ignition coil from a reputable place! BU ones will last a few months and he'll be spending the same money again on a good one. tungpo1 or Tom@Dixie Sales can get OEM ones.
