External/Ballast Resistor getting Hot! (W/pictures)

[jick.cejoco]

sir jick.cejoco, tama po yung wiring na nagawa ko? ok naman po yung response ng engine(compare sa dating coil na sira) ang iniisip ko lang po is yung nag iinit na external resistor. at isa pa po pala, kapag nilipat ko yung red wire sa + side ng coil sa ballast resistor eh yung ignition coil yung nag iinit kaya po binalik ko na lang sa + side ng coil yung red wire, sa setup na ganito hindi nag iinit yung coil yung resistor po yung nag iinit. thanks po sir.

the resistor normally gets hot, remember, it is there to restrict or resist current to prevent overheat. the wiring should be correct. the red wire being circuit 50 and the white wire from the ballast resistor the circuit 15

ah, thanks po pala sir. normal po pala na mag init ang external resistor. thanks sir naliwanagan na rin ako sa wakas.
