Are you sure the "L" is not a "1" ?
"1" seems to be the indication for an open circuit.
I like meters with dials & needles, they cost about three & sixpence.
If your brown to brown/yellow wires are indeed open circuited you may have found the problem already.
I'm positive as it's an uppercase "L". I tried to test those wires with every available means, like I said, still an L on one and, specifically, 0.L on the other. This is the same reading as when the probes aren't touching anything. If this is in fact the case, this would mean that the stator is pretty darned messed up.
