Leaving the ignition on will heat the coil. Try leaving it on and touch the coil after 20-30 minutes (carefull may be very hot)you'll get the idea. 5-6 hrs should have boiled the oil in the coil, possibly moved some debris or burned off "whisker" shorts, wonder it didn't burn it out.

I would be considering changing the coil if it does it again. A partially shorted or grounded coil can result in a significant voltage drop to the starter.
