Cool Flywheel rubbing ignition coil

Ok... I've got a problem. My engine (1991 Johnson 200hp Looper) wasn't dropping back to idle properly so I decided to pull the flywheel and look inside the stator to see if there was any tar gumming it up. First thing I noticed was that 2 of the magnets on the flywheel were out of position. They were loose. Next thing I noticed was that the inside bottom of the flywheel had some grooves worn into it. So I looked at the stator and saw that the coil in the front of the engine (the one associated with the magnito-ignition...one of the spark ignition coils) had wear marks on it that matched the groves in the flywheel. Either it's high or the flywheel is low. Both sit properly with no junk or crud under them... none of the other coils have any scuff marks on them, so that tells me that the one coil is high. How is that possible? Anyone got any ideas?

(I thought about pics as I was writing this, but it's dark and all my tools are put away for the night. I'll take some tomorrow and post them so you can see what I'm talking about)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
