Is the smell simply "that new motor" smell? Even when not new, the varnish does have a distinctive odor.

Coil windings are so short that they have very little DC resistance, so getting a reading with an ohmmeter is all but impossible. However, you could build a simple oscillator (555 timer based) running at ~20kHz. Add a little "current amplifier" to the output (1A max), and hook each motor lead to it with a precision 1ohm resistor in series. The voltage drop on the resistor should be equal on all phases.
