Ebox/Stator testing

[Kny21]

Long story short is I had trouble with the bendix which exploded and now have no spark.

I visually inspected the stator (61x) while replacing the bendix and didn't see anything that stood out. No broken wires or damage to the faces of the coils so proceeded to bolt back together and now get no spark.

I've eleminated the s/s switch as that's easy but not the cause, as one would have figured.

I'm looking at the Tech FAQ thread linked below and have some newb questions. As that thread doesn't seem to elaborate on where the test is performed and my Clymers manual is m.i.a.

I'm assuming I need to check the leads at the ebox to eliminate any upstream issues with the wires, correct? Should the battery hooked up while I have to ebox open? Do I need to crank the ski at all or can I go ahead and pull the front cover apart while checking?

Open elec box. Disconnect the 2 green, the white and the brown stator wires- you may leave the black ground wire connected. Use ohm meter to check resistance brown to ground (the charge coil), white to ground (the pulser coil) , green to green ( the lighting coil- has nothing to do with spark). You can also test pulser or charge coil with an ac voltmeter at the same points while cranking the engine, as per cosander's link
