hey i am a newbie.i am having a spark issue. i am not getting any spark at all,so i checked plug-good,changed out cdi,changed out pulse generator,but not advance pickup.i was told that it might be the stator,so i found out how to check stator i am getting 200 ohms when i guess i am suppose to be getting between 215 to 245,is 200 ohms good enough to get some kind of spark? also how do i check to see if pulse generator is bad,as well as cdi,as i got both off ebay.also how many stator coils are there behind flyweel. once again 1983 honda big red 200 pull start,no reverse,no safety netural switch -bypassed- thank you in advance:beer

Are you SURE your grounding the plug good against the motor when checking for spark?

no i have not changed the coil yet,but like i said i checked ohms from the stator and i am only getting 200 when it is suppose to be 215 to 245.i just need to know if 200 is enough to get spark from the stator to the coil.and also how to electrical test pulse generator as well as cdi. and how many stator coils are behind flyweel one or two? thank you in advance
