The coil you have is the correct one. Do not use a separate reisitor on it since the resistance is built into the wiring harness already. It is a good idea to check the wire between the switch and solenoid. It is a steel wire rather than copper. If you have broken strands it can cause a voltage loss at the coil when running. Starting voltage is provided by the solenoid so it should not affect starting if the wire is going bad.
Any air leak between the carb and the head will upset the fuel mixture and can cause a miss and hard starting. If the carb was a little loose when you were running the tractor that may have allowed the gasket to start to leak and cause the miss.
Since you know that you have gasket leaks that is where I would start the repairs. Fix what you know is bad first before doing anything else.
You can use jumper cables or another battery to get your timing light far enough forward to see the marks. If you are going to time it by ear you have to retard the timing some from where it runs best or you will be too far advanced and will risk scoring a piston.
