240 blues, Try using a jumper wire around the resister while trying to start. If it starts, remove the jumper wire, and the engine should still run. If it dies, use the jumper just long enough to warm the engine until it will run without the jumper. Using a jumper wire will put a full 12v to the coil for a stronger spark. I had a 404, that sometimes would not start when outside damp and cold, and the jumper did the trick. You may also want to check the condition of the points and cap and rotor. Some of the later 12v tractors had an ignition bypass wire that attached from the solenoid directly to the coil, and energized only when the starter was engaged, thus putting extra voltage to the coil during the starter use. good luck jk
