I didn't touch the mags for concern I'd kill the engine.

I agree with you completely. Switching to one mag would help only in a situation
in which a mag has jumped time. Your description of the symptoms doesn't match
what happens when a mag's mistimed (backfiring usually comes into the picture in
this case). I would not have touched the ignition switch.
