Villiers ignition coil readings

Hi all, have just been checking the readings on an ignition coil that is on a recently purchased engine on multi meter set at 20k ohms it shows 5.1 on meter set at 200k it shows 5.14 now I can never remember what a good setting figure should be, as there is no spark if these setting figures are the sign of a good usable coil am I now correct in thinking the condenser is suspect.

To be honest this side of an engine, [ignition ] always foxes me, be gentle with replies please.

20kohms scale, 5.1kohms is good. Condenser and point gap next check.

Thanks Steve, points gap is ok, so condenser is now ordered.

Make sure to get a decent one, I got the cheapest from eBay and it was open circuit.

I've had condensors from here before:
