I didn't reread the post you mentioned, but I don't check mags that way.
first, blue wire to a good ground is 320 to 360 ohms being sure to scrape the probe into the metal for a good connection - if reading is is too high, try to get a reading right from those two copper wires at the top of the coil, and if good there, then resolder that connection which often goes bad
checking CDI with a meter is hard & gives funny readings because the capacitor in it stores voltage, then kicks it back if you reverse probes - also, it may spark well but at the wrong time
when checking for no spark, just looking may not work - if you think there is no spark, then hold the plug in your hand, hold your hand on the top of motor, roll the bike & see if it bites you
