Default No Spark

Hello to all.
Hope some one can help.
I have a 2000 scrambler 500 4x4 and no spark. A side from the simple stuff like fue l/ battery crap. I have checked all the following- new stator, new ignition coil, new CDI box, coil wire good and plug is good also. I am only getting about 314oms from the stator I think it should be up around 430 or so. Does anyone now if it should fire at that reading or is it to low to fire. I also have checked switches and wires that seem to be ok.
Sure hope some one can shed some light on this so I can through some mud.

make sure the point gap on the stator is correct. Im not sure what it suppose to be but hte new one may be incorrect.

Do you have a manual to see what your ohms should be? Sounds like a manual would have been a cheaper start then buying all those parts.

Sure I do. There is realy no way to test the CDI box. and the ohm's on the stator is right at 314 which the book says it should be 446, I have been told that there is a 10% varence plus or minus. even at 314 ohm's I think that it should at least have a weak spark.
