Yes you can test the primary/secondary coil sides, don't remember the exact values but primary should be 0-2 Ohms, secondary 5-10kOhms.
I will check if I can find anything in the service manual

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
there is a mob in the UK that does mag rebuilds for a fee they will rebuild your mag with a new coil and send it back to you. thier coils are properly vacuum impregnated is the insulating lacquer is forced into the very core of the windings and not just coated on the outside this gives utmost reliability and moisture protection. just dipping them in laquer doesnt work as well.
a tip with mags is all mating surfaces must be spotless almost clean enough to eat off it. a rub with 2B graphite pencil helps the current path. plug threads are the same must be clean and rust free. the insulators must be clean and free from cracks.
the magnets can loose thier magnetism and some times need re magnetising
change the condensor if it has one.
heat affects them too a bad mag may test fine cold but once warm it wont work test whn cold and when warm.

I work last week on EISEMANN magneto and check the coil with my finger and no shok and I removed the wires from the condenser and recheck the coil and he was fine and trouble was wire touch metal housing and after reinstaled correctly he had god spark.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
