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.
