More drama with my beloved fizzer.

Feel like I am married to this bike ( real love / hate relationship)
It seems to be one problem after another. Took the bike for a ride on Sunday after finally getting all the plastic on since I purchased it 6 months ago.
Ran out of petrol so switched it over to reserve. It must of sucked up some crap from the bottom of the fuel bowls because it started to flood.
Great timing because I has booked the yearly rego safety check for the following morning at 7am before work. I managed to make the appointment and get to work by riding the bike with the fuel tap off only reaching down to turn it on briefly every 2-3 miles.

Same procedure was employed on the way home, with the added bonus of the bike dying after a brief scent of burning electronics. Managed to get her started again and limped home on 3 cylinders while still following my anti flooding strategy. I ended taking the next day off work so I could fix the fizzer. The fried part was a 10K ohm plug cap resistor. So I ended up replacing all the resistors with a 5mm dia nail cut to length.

Questions.
1) Is it possible to just buy these resistors?
2) How much different will not having the resistor in make?
3) Do the Yamaha Gods hate me because I was a Honda man many years ago?
