It's difficult to get a good voltage reading from the single winding. This is due to the rotating speed. Considering that the spark has to work at kickstarting speeds, a good kick with the plug out should show OK voltage. I've never tried to measure it. The 30V was just an example to show how the voltage steps up through the system.
The type of voltmeter also has an effect; auto ranging meters can be really slow to respond. I would expect a fixed range meter to show at least 15V when kicking. Usually getting some reading means it's working.
