Troubleshooting no spark On DT15C

No spark condition on this bad boy. Finally got my hands on a service manual. The stator primary coil tests fine, But one of the leads on the pulser coil leads tests out of range. I will be honest I’m not totally understanding how the pulser coil works. If I understand it correctly, if one of the two pulser coil leads is not functioning would this only affect spark on one of two cylinders? I ask because both of my ignition coils are testing out of range significantly on the plug lead to ground test (15,000ohms vs 4-6000 spec’d). It’s strange to me that both would test at same value within 10% so now I’m second guessing whether I’m checking correct spec for coils.
 
Just to follow up on my own thread. Ended up also testing with DVA. All results point to a dead CDI. Now, if only Suzuki was as good at keeping older parts available as Johnson/Evinrude is, this motor would be back on the water already...
