Not sure if I fully understand but here goes. bucker wired in series but is actually 1/2 the dcr of 1 coil ?
What gauge wire did you wind with ?
Wind too tight can cause a short or many (This is more of a problem with higher/smaller gauge wire )& read low in the dcr

Or, Possibly you have the two coils in parallel.
4K x 2 in series = 8K
4K / 2 in Parallel = 2K

Oh god I hate to admit it...I had the finish leads tied together going to ground and the starts going to hot. In my defense I had been winding all day and rushed to post in pure tired exaggeration. I'll take a deep breath before I post something dumb next time.

Don't worry about it.
It happens to all of us.
That is what the forum is here for.
Good Luck,

Very good to know. Easier to keep at it when you don't feel like the lone idiot!
