Starter is giving Ohm reading?

[Eyspen]

linked is my J120TLCOS starter with my meter on Ohms and conected to the power and ground. Is this suppose to show a reading?

Just want to make sure that its not shorted before I get ready to fire it up.

The brushes gotta ground somewhere...

Thank you. I had almost no experience with motors prior to this project (reviving a 1985 J120 for sentimental reasons) and I am nearly done with swapping out the power head. I got quick help here with another issue so I figured it might be a silly question it made me feel better.

Not only that, but if that battery cable is connected to anything, you should never make an OHMS test on a source of power.

Yes! This I knew because I asked questions back when I got my meter. Still am not able to use it to its full capacity but it has helped me through this rebuild by confirming various components are in working order.
