OK I finally got the coil rewound yesterday. Unfortunately, I had to stop immediately after I finished winding the coil and today I spent 13 hours on the road.
After I got home I managed to take a measurement of the DC resistance of the coil. It was around 2.5 ohms. I looked up the resistance per 1K feet of 36 gauge wire and calculated that the resistance should be 3 ohms. I guess that is pretty close, right? I added a coat of laquer to hold the coil in place and called it quits for the night. I will reinstall the coil tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
