Each windingm primary & secondary has two ends, primary winding ends (2) go to ground & points, measure there, Secondary winding also has two ends one going to ground & the other to the spark plug wire. Measure there only measure at the hi voltage terminal on the coil to get accurate measurment of coil & not including plug wire, as it may have issues. Measure plug wire by it’s self to check. Note: If your spark plug wire has problems to avoid shipping costs go to your local neon sign shop & buy G.T.O. (gas tube only) neon wire by the foot, get Hi Flex type wire. It is rated at 15,000 volts @ 60 cycles alternating current which is plenty good for a magneto. I have used it in many magnetos and neon lighting that runs on 15,000 volts. Save money that method.

P,S.The ground wires from your coils are connected together inside the coil so the ground comming out are a common connection except some other coils (old Johnson brand) but we won’t go there today. As brought up hopefully your secondary windings were done with quality copper windings & insulated with quality  insulating varnish from the factory. No telling what materials they used!!!

Good luck!!
