Does the coil get very very hot?
Does it start leaking oil?
If so, then its probably because you have wried the ballast resisitor incorectly (its not foam, its ceramic).
While starting the engine, the ballast resistor shouldnt be used (coil gets 12V), but during normal running the resistor is used meaning the coils gets ~6V.
Having the coil running on 12V all the time will make it get hot, leak oil and burn out.
