Default Re: TE cortina start issues

hi, my te corty been gettin worse for ages BUT NOW FIXED.....very hard to cold start , but fine once warmed up...te has a resistor wire, i put a 12 volt coil on a couple of years ago,, over time the 12 volt coil heated the resistor wire to within an inch of its life...so i ran another wire with a resistance block on coil end , now its all good. the extra wire is just plugged into a switched outlet on fuse box. unwrapping the original resistance wire showed its insulation looked like chewy-gum melted round the other wires
