Ballast resister |
|

|
On certain older ignition systems on older stuff they still |
|
maintained a 6 volt coil using a ballast resister usually |
|
rated at 1.6 ohms to drop the voltage to about 6 or 7 volts |
|
going to the coil on a 12 volt system .What happens if you don't |
|
use a dropping resister is the points flash over causing |
|
misfires . |
|
I recently discovered this on my old Ferguson tractor when I |
|
installed new points over looking no resister .Just a lapse of |
|
memory on my part ,should have known that already . |
