I may have missed the reconnection of a wire to the coil as the only wires going to the coil at the time are the red wire for the hot-spark and the wire to the resistor. I will check for oversight, though I don't recall another wire attached to the + terminal of the coil.
The "start" wire is usually connected to the output side of the resistor. I wasn't clear on that part. There should be only one wire running from the resistor to the coil. The "start" circuit side steps the regulated voltage provided by the resistor.
