Hi,
What are the correct resistance values for ignition coil windings?
I am getting 0.0 Ohm on input side and ~17.8KOhm on output ( which goes to spark plugs ).
Are these values correct?
Which manual should I buy ? Where can I find this manual ?
Thanks.

You might have a hard time finding a manual, I bought one but mostly covers the T500, which is quite different on electrics.

Make sure your multimeter is adjusted to the correct scale. Your secondary reading will be higher if you are including the spark plug resistor cap.

When I pluged in spark plug cap, the resistance value increased and overshoot the scale on multi-meter!
That was causing me to think that the connection is lost!
Thanks a lot for your help.
I have also checked magneto coils.
And it shows resistance values which are in thousands of Ohms.
Is this expected?
What resistance values should I be getting?
Does it mean that CDI unit is the culprit now?
I have checked ignition coil, magneto coils, exiter/pulsar coil.
All of these show some resistance values.
All of these show no broken connection.
But I have not recorded resistance values and compared with expected values.
Where can I find resistance values for all of these coils?
