Ill be honest with ya, when it comes to measuring resistance im a newbie. I measured it by probing the connections from behind the red plug of the coil I didn't unplug it.

gotcha. I believe the connector to the pick-up coil (AKA pulser) is a red connector. what you described is called "back probing". connect one probe of your digital multimeter to one wire in the red connector, and the other probe to the other wire. simply put, connect the black probe to the white wire, and the red probe to the yellow/white wire and read the resistance value.

First of all, thank you for giving me a hand with this.
1. 13.3V
2. 13.3V
3.13.3V
4. 13.1V (Battery is draining a bit just came off maintainer)
5. 3 of the Red/Blk wires in the fuse box V for all of them (12.9V)
6. 12.9V
7. 12.9V
9. 12.6V (battery is still at 12.9)
10. 12.5V
11. all coil connections show 12.5V across the board for the blk/wht wire, previously I had no power coming through here.

BTW - Pull headlight fuse and connect trickle charger to keep from killing battery.

😂😂 Yes as soon as i click on the meter it must have shivered back on, as I finished trying to take the resistance of the pickup coil i tried to give it a shot again and connected the coil plug back on with the spark plug against a good ground. Nothin’, Im starting to suspect the pickup coil burned up since i installed the new harness for it, it gave me one spark and quit.

I understand that you don't have much experience with a multi-meter, but this is where its going to be extremely important that we have the exact information. the number you provided of .482 (half an ohm) would mean that your pick-up coil is bad. if it measured 482 (four hundred), then it would be good. what setting did you have your multi-meter on (1k, 10k 100k)?
