I've begun troubleshooting the derelict '78 SR I picked up... started by checking the stator windings.
Both Clymer and a factory service manual say the charge coil is Red-Brown 334 ohms, Brown-Black 329 ohms.
Haynes says Red-Brown 6 ohms, Red-Black 334 ohms, Brown-Black 329 ohms, which matches the readings I get on the bike.
I generally prefer the Clymer but it would have sent me on an expensive wild goose chase this time. Until I checked Haynes I thought I had a shorted high-speed charge coil. Now I'm willing to assume it may be ok and move on to getting spark.
The manuals agree on all other windings.
