Your resistancc seems correct. Good way to check points timing is : See the coil, it has 3 magnetic contact shoes or laminations. When the magnets contact shoe number 1 & 2 then come to shoe 2 & 3 exactly when the points open or should open. Use a ohm meter connected to points & ground & mark flywheel magnets on outside with straight edge. At that time in rotation the magneto has the most electrical energy & should be firing. If you don’t have an magneto condenser tester try a lawn mower shop as they have condenser load tester hopefully.P.S. Every magneto uses these pricipsls except C.D.I. magnetos.
P.S. I have made coils fire bt using a “D” sized battery, flywheel removed & connect battery to coil points connection & ground, with points closed open points with a nonconductive (wood) splinter & you should get a spark at the removed spark plug & the points. Do not connect the battery any longer for the test as the system is not made for battery power & will overheat. I’ve checked cars this way for years. Either magnet or electrical energy works.
Good luck
