I have been looking everywhere and I keep getting different answers on the internet. 3-4 ohms Is that bad or good. Never tested one but my guess would about 0 ohms. It's a conductor of 1-2ft, it should have no resistance.
I found a video on youtube some guy said that per every foot of spark plug wire the typical wire has roughly 4-5 ohms.
A quick simple test to tell if your wires are going bad. Also if they read over 11K that's border line for replacement.

Bump starting a kart for the first time can be a nightmare. We have all been there out of breath, and exhausted because the engine won’t fire! Well, karting guru Ian Turner (ITPro) from the halls of the UK Karting forums, reveals the technique of bump starting a kart for Karting 1 so you don’t have to make the mistakes -
This is ONE man’s view on the best way to SUCCESSFULLY push start a 2-stroke, direct drive kart: it’s not the ONLY way.
I’ve written the article as though all the participants are male and right handed. This is obviously untrue but it makes the writing simpler if I write for the majority. Please do not take offense to this style; none is meant! Two of my quickest ever teammates were female and one was left-handed!
Preparation
The first thing to do is to check that everything is working BEFORE you get to the track, preferably, on a stand in your garage.
Safety
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER try starting the kart by putting a rope/strap round the tiree and pulling. It MAY work but it MAY also KILL YOU. The end of the rope can get caught in the chain/axle or whatever and it will ‘reel you in’ and cut you to ribbons. If you’re lucky, you’ll just lose a hand or an arm, if you’re not..……………………..
Spark Plug
Remove the plug and reconnect it to the plug lead. Lay the plug on TOP of the engine (preferably, with the sparking end AWAY from the plug hole as it can ignite any fuel in there; it may be fun but it’s not too clever!). You MUST make sure that the metal of the spark plug makes good contact with the main metal of engine whenever you spin the wheels or you can damage the ignition system. Now spin the rear wheels and you should see a healthy (fat) spark. If it looks feeble, buy a new plug.
Check the spark plug is clean and not ‘wet’ (oily or dripping fuel). The ideal color is from ‘brand new’ to mid-brown. Black is OK but it’s better to get a wire brush and clean it up. If it’s caked in rubbish of any color (a bit like the ‘fur’ in the kettle), clean it or chuck it!
