Sounds like a keeper for now. Perhaps the valve timing is just a bit better with the added lash. Who knew?

My GUESS would be:
using 12 volts, as that would give a higher calculated amperage:
60 watts / 12 v = 5 amp
12 v / 3 ohm = 4 amp x 2 coils = 8 amps
Total 13 amps on that circuit.
I'd fuse it at 20 amp with #12 wire size as feeder conductor.
Just a guess.

gltriker wrote:Thanks Sandy! My results were 13amps too, but I couldn't find anything to state what fuse rating minimum would be appropriate.
Rule of thumb, maybe not automotive I don't know, I've always used maximum load of a circuit is 80%.

Excellent seeing you and the trike briefly at Pete's and linger at the fairgrounds. Safe travels back to NY and may your return be less eventful.
