"My reading here on the electrical forum convinced me to use a ballast resistor and upgrade the starter switch to the type that has an extra terminal on the switch to provide 12V power to the coil during cranking. "

Did you add the ballast resistor and a foot-pedal starter switch with a side terminal? Let us know what wire goes where in that set-up.
