Replace coil and add the resistor in the power line.
good luck,

The wiring directions for the Maxfire said there should not be any ballast resistors or loom resistance wire in the red power wire going to the distributor. It also said to make sure the red wire supplies 12vdc in the start and run position. I guess the Maxfire is different than some of the others. I don't have a resistor and have confirmed the 12vdc.
