Default Is my coil bad?

I tested my coil and the primary should be between 2.5-3.1 ohms. It read 3.4 ohms. My secondary should be between 11,250-13,750 and read 11,100 ohms. Is my coil bad since the ohms are not in between the recommended parameters.My book says to by a new on if not.I'm thinking it's still good. I'm having issues of fouling plugs when my bike worms up then it starts backfiring through carb and exhaust. It runs perfectly with new plugs until it worms up. I just put a super E on it and got it adjusted. Had the problem previously. Hope someone can help. Thanks
