I have been having trouble getting a new to me 8n to run right. I've put everything new in this tractor that I can think of. But the only thing that will make it run correctly is if I bypass the ballast resistor. I tried using a new resistor and it runs poorly. It will not accelerate or pull any kind of load with a resistor in it but will run perfectly fine without the resistor. It is still 6 V positive ground and has a brand-new tractor supply coil. Question is, are some coils being made that do not need a resistor? I have even tried a Chrysler style resistor. Equals weak spark. The coil that I bought was in a an in opened 6 V coil box.
