""put 2 resistors in line""

When you put two ballast resistors in line, this equates to more voltage to the coil.
I ran two MP 1/4ohm ballasts for two years with a FBO coil, and the coil voltage went up two volts. The FBO coil is a good one and the two ballasts did not hurt it. That coil was designed for 11.5 volts. I would not attempt this on a stock type coil.



NEGATIVE. You must have put two resistors IN PARALLEL to do that. Two resistors "inline" (in series) results in MORE voltage DROP and LESS voltage to the LOAD
