I updated it with a 12 volt coil which the newer models come with and it runs like new!
Actually, the newer models, like the 444, use the same 6 volt coil as yours. The difference is that the resistor block went away in favor of a resistance wire between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid.
The main advantage to using the 6 volt coil with resistor is in starting. Cranking voltage may drop to nine or ten volts while cranking the engine. The lower voltage will cause you to have a weaker spark as the engine cranks over. By using the resistor, instead of the nominal 6 volts you have while the engine is operating, you now have nine or ten volts for a hotter spark when starting.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
