No problem, I'll be happy to help out. The arrow with a line going through it should be to test diodes. It's a type of electronic component that only lets electricity flow one way through it. For testing a starter you won't need this setting.
As for the available settings on your multimeter, if your choices for checking resistance are 200, 2K, 200K, 2M, your best bet is the 200 ohm setting. As for the range, while you have a 2M ohm setting, you cant test insulation with this. I don't know if your using a digital (shows numbers) or analog (has a needle that moves back and forth). If it's analog and the lowest setting is 200 ohms then you definitely can't measure this with this multimeter. If its digital the answer is more complicated. Chances are though that if your lowest setting is 200 and your only getting readings with one decimal place over into the tens, it's not going to be sensitive enough to accurately measure the resistance.
Not to worry though, there are a couple of tricks you can use here. To keep it simple, with the multimeter on the 200 ohm setting, look at what it says with holding the probes in the air. Then look at what it says when you touch them together. Use these two reading to indicate either a brake, or a good wire. Try testing each of the windings like this and if none of them have the reading that you get when you just hold the probes in the air, then there is a 70% chance the windings are fine.
Now keep this in mind. It's almost impossible for all your windings to go out at the same time because as soon as one fails, it stops turning reliably. Hence the other windings stop getting used.
I understand you did a bench test already. When you put power to the starter, does it turn at all or show any sign of life? Another thing to try is hook up the power and if it's not turning take something you can move the rotter on the starter with to see if it suddenly kicks in and spins. BEWARE starters are powerful motors. Don't use anything that will get caught on the rotter or somehow yank on you because it can cause some damage or really hurt you. Just use your head and be careful if you try turning the rotter as it could suddenly kick on.
Where i am going with this is if nothing happens then more than likely there is an issue between the contacts on the outside of the starter and the carbon brushes inside it. Another way to test this is to hook up that multimeter on your lowest (200) setting and put it on the contacts for the starter. Make sure you do this with no power to the starter. You should get a reading. What it says isn't as important as the fact you get one at this moment. Now very slowly turn the rotor by hand. You should have a changing resistance as it jumps from contacting various coils inside the starter. What your looking for are dead spots, or no reading at all at any position.
If you are getting dead spots by doing this check, then you have a bad connection between the carbon brushes and the coils inside. If you get no readings at all, then there is more than likely a break in wire inside connecting the brushes to the leads outside.
I would start here and see what you come up with. The results you get in these test will decide what you look at there after. Also if you need more one on one communication, you can PM me and i will give you my number if talking would be easier for you. Otherwise i will be checking back here and doing what i can to help.
