Sorry mate I should have explained that better.

Have you got a Digital Multimeter?  You need to set it to OHM (looks like the Omega symbol)...With machine powered off and unplugged put a probe on each lug of the coil and just note the reading.  It may take a few seconds depending on your DMM....

How does the kicker feel by hand?  I think from memory there is a switch with a wireform that launches the kicker.  Just check that too...
