Is this flywheel key bad enough to cause rough running?

All right, I've got this mower running at about 80% now. There's something still a-miss and I don't know what it could be.
So while measuring the coil resistance, I realized the boot (Briggs logo on it) measures 4.7kOhm by itself! Is that normal that the boot has a built-in resistor?

Yes, some caps have a resistor in them, some don't.
