Depends on if you are running through the ballast resistor or not.

yes it currently has one but depending on what coil I go with should determine weather or not I need it or not correct? I ran it without the resistor and it started to overheat the coil, with the resistor it seemed to not get enough fire. currently has a MSD blaster 2 coil

Dusty, You say it "seemed not to get enough fire". What tests did you do before throwing parts at it? What were the symptoms" |

had very poor throttle response. it would die when trying to pull a skier up, once I did away with the resistor it seemed to do a lot better

Dusty, "seemed to do a lot better" isn't really a test!  Did you consider the problem may have been the carb?
