I used to know for sure, why you needed the resistor, but my mind has retired. I think the resistor helps keep the points from burning and pitting prematurly (sp). Also, some systems have a bypass wired to the start circuit. When you are in start position, you get a full 12 volts to the coil and points, because actual starting drags down the available voltage. After starting circuit is dis-engaged, the resistor circuit provides a lower voltage to the coil and points. Gene

PS Can someone confirm my thoughts, so I know that I haven"t completely lost it?
