I've replaced a few Honda stators, they're known to be a weak link. Not sure about other models and how durable they are. Your resistance reading being that far off makes it look like the likely suspect. The common failure with stators is that the insulating coating gets eaten up by the oil and/or heat damaged and wires start shorting out within the coil(s) lowering resistance so your finding is on par with the common stator damage.
