Thanks GA. I'll try to confirm this.
Yea, definitely check for decimal points. On my meter in the "20" scale, it will read up to 19.99 volts. On the "200" scale, it will read up to 199.9

Sounds like you have the HS coil figured out, but what did you do on the LS coil? Last I read, you were using a larger ga wire... did you convert the equivalent resistance for the length of wire so you would end up with (roughly) the same number of wraps?
And what about the direction of wrap? There was a question at one point about which way each coil was wrapped and how the two coils were interconnected. Both of these questions might impact whether the switch box acts correctly when it gets the signals from either the HS and LS coil. For example, if the coil was wound "clockwise" then the switch box (CDI) might see a positive voltage then the negative voltage. If it's wound "counterclockwise" then the switchbox (CDI) would see a negative voltage then a positive voltage. If it's designed for one, it won't work for the other.
Since AC voltage has no polarity, it makes no difference if the switch box sees the negative or positive half cycle first because in half a cycle the sine wave will reverse.
I have to say the wire gauge on the original stator, even after being burnt, looks a heck of a lot larger then 42 or eve 32 gauge wire to me. But what would I know. I am only going from the picture GA_Boater provided above. Sure wish there could be some way to determine the original gauge and number of wines per coil are. JMHO
It's toast and all the needed visuals were lost;
The way the coils are interconnected is what supplies the trigger pulses the switch box uses to calculate when to fire the plugs. I fear the interconnection wiring was lost.
Put it on the shelf :-/
I'm not really sure how to test it, and if my switch box is bad then the plugs won't light up even if the coils are good. I might get back to it but it might end up in storage too. I definitely burned out on it... No pun intended.
