1975 gl1000 no spark on cyl #1 and #2

#1 Unread post by neverdie38 »

i have a 75' gl1000 that had spark on all 4 cylinders then cylinder #2 started missing. bought a new coil and replaced, now not getting spark out of cyl #1 or #2. checked wires and even switched them. all that did was make it not crank when the kill switch was in the RUN position but would crank when it was in the OFF position. very confused about this

Did you check the points? Or the condenser?
