I agree 100% Bob, Excellent point THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DIODE. I dont recall ever saying there was, they work just fine to prevent run on. I just prefer the current limiting possible (even if never needed, Im a Conservative lol an ounce of prevention n cheap resistor is worth more then a pound of cure n expensive alternator repair) protection of a little resistance in that circuit plus a resistor (depending on its qulaity) may be less prone to failure, may be chaeper, and usually stops run on to the point the diode isnt even needed.
Heck, Ive seen em work for years With No Diode, With a Diode, With a Resistor, With Nothing and no problem, I just like the safety a resistor might offer even if its a slim one, better safe then sorry is my motto.
NO PROBLEM WITH A DIODE I AGREE
AND LIKEWISE, THERES NO PROBLEM WITH HAVING SOME CURRENT LIMITING RESISTANCE IN THAT EXCITATION CIRCUIT EITHER
Take care Bob, fun discussion, hope we dont bore the non sparkies lol

Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
