I'm not at all surprised. Had exactly that happen to me years ago. Did some gentle mods on my trusty old H60, test ran, put it away. Took it out of mothballs some months later. No fire. Coil simply died in the interim. Could be anything. A little moisture gets in there, corrodes one little spot in the windings, and BOOM. It's dead, Jim!

the biggest problem with opposed twins that i have is the coil acting up. the 16 hp i got had a bad coil, would not start at al. the other one would not start if you shut it off.
