Its not a ballast resistor is it Larry ?
Whatever it is, its the thingy on the positive side of the coil that was not
making a very good erth because the screw holding it and the coil on, will
not tighten up securely. What exactly does it do anyway ?

if it's from the live side of the coil to earth, then it's an interference
suppressor. It'll be a capacitor in this case. You can safely remove it...
