I invite people with stock resistor & coil to put a meter on their coil input with engine stopped. Like to hear what others see. (don't forget to turn off the switch when done!)
I have experienced the same with my 39. I have also changed resistors with no difference.(lovely spot to work in) my engine runs fine and will start faster than anything I have owned.
