Lean sneezing after startup is normal and expected. But it will be worse if the slow speed needle is set too lean. Once warmed up a bit and properly adjusted, the sneezing should stop. Another "normal" thing is you may have reprime the tank a time or two to keep it running until sufficient pressure has built up. This is particulary true if the tank doesn’t have much fuel in it.

Coil primary winding is around an Ohm, secondary is around a "few" K-Ohms. They vary. Depends on the maker of the coil. If they are cracked, they are junk, no matter what you measure. Condenser is 0.22 mfd capacitance.

EDIT: Capacitance corrected.
