My 1966 140 (born with 12V, a generator, and big button start) had no resistor from the factory. At one point, while I was overseas, the guy mowing fields with it put an 'external resistor required' coil on it. Not only did it run hot, but it managed to explode when I accidentally left it on for a few minutes when I was having a no-start problem. Hot oil all over the side of the engine. I am glad I was elsewhere when it went (had to answer the phone). Now I have the resistor in place with same type coil and it gets warm but not hot. When this one goes--been several years--I will upgrade to a true 12V coil with no external resistor.
