I only have one wire going from the ballast resistor to the coil, so the coil is only getting 9 volts or whatever. Shouldn't the coil have some way of getting 12 Volts during start up? Ive still got the foot starter. Maybe i just dont understand how the ballast resistor works...
hah...now i am quoting myself!
Anyways, should i have a 12V hot coming to the coil from the starter? So it gets 12V when the foot starter is engaged...?
Here's a pic before the new coil, orange wire from ballast resistor, yellow to the dist.
