Are you using the foot starter switch or has it been converted to a key starter switch? You definately need a resistor. There are two wires to the coil one supplys full voltage for starting (to counter act draw from the starter motor), the second goes through the resistor for regular running.

LMK if you want a bigger version of the diagram. PM me and I can send you the large files.
