Hey Gary, Even though you do not have an external ballast resistor, very often the actual "run" wire to the coil is a resistor wire that does the job of a stand alone ballast resistor. These often go bad. In the start mode (when turning the key), you run off a different wire for full voltage. Once the key springs back to run mode, you go thru the resistor wire.

regards
Ed
