Thanks for the help here.

I forgot to mention, 6V original system with a 'modern' can type coil. The coil is maybe 5 years old it is a Standard brand part.

The under the dash resistor looks like the one pictured with a 20 amp Buss fuze attached beside it.

I will try to get out to the garage in a couple of days and let you know what I find. I will re-check that resistor it LOOKS OK not burnt or anything like that but I'll hit it with my tester

Thanks again
Jeff
