The ballast resistor is probably necessary. The electronic ignition
requires a certain given resistance over the coil with or without the
ballast resistor (in series), usually this is around 3 Ohms. Often the
coil is around 1,5 Ohms which means you need a resistor of 1,5 Ohms.
If you have a coil with a resistance of 3 Ohms you will be OK, if lower
you have to get a set of coil and resistor because these coils basically
are 6V items being in series with the resistor.
Check carefully in your fitting instructions. Failing to fit the ballast
resistor may fry the 123 ignition.
