Default Sportster 1200 Coil ohms?

Have a 09 sportster 1200c, lost spark on sunday, I have the service manual and I ohmed the crank sensor, it shows good, my question is, what should the coil ohm at? Primary and secondary?

Went threw every possible cause I could think of, fuel pump would prime, had power to coil, correct amount of ohms, same with the crank sensor, still no fire, checked the fuses for the ignition etc, pulled the fuse for the ECM and wala! barely had a piece of the wire making contact in the fuse, had lots of corrosion on the blades, cleaned everything with a brush, new fuses in everything, fingers and toes crossed, hit the start button and potato potato potato, I was quite excited! pulled the fuse 2 days ago and didn't see the wire inside was mostly gone, so glad it was a simple fix, if I had hair I would of pulled it out LOL Note to self: Pay attention to the littlest things!

Hey man, question for you, would your bike crank with the fuse issue?
