Pulled her out and no spark from points / condenser dizzy.

Never had any problems and never paid much attention until now.

Coil has 12 volt printed on the side and there is a ballast resister on the hot wire from ignition to coil. I assume the resistor drops it down to 6 v.

12v conversion

Question:

Is this resistor necessary and if so why as the coil is 12v?
