Yes, you are correct, my mistake; I must not have had my lead pushed all the way in: Right coil primary to center core of coil was ~5.4 k ohms.I do have a Boyer black box and it is positive ground. I just checked what you said, and the wiring of the coils and box is correct. Black wire from black box goes to negative of right coil, then positive of right coil to negative of left coil, and positive of left coil to ground, i.e., the coils are wired in series.I thought some of the resistance readings I got were low based on some things I read elsewhere, but if you both think these numbers are adequate with the coils, do you have any suggestions of where to look next? As the carbs and fuel are brand new, I think I have an electrical problem. My plugs are new, and my battery is above twelve volts. I have read that low voltage on a battery makes hard starting with the Boyer, so as insurance I put jumpers from my battery to a running car's battery to get 14 volts and I still needed to kick like a mule before I finally got it running, and it stalled quickly once I did.
