'80 GL1100 firing on 2, no spark on 2

Finally getting down to what may be the end of this particular issue. Why this broken wing will not stay running. 1 and 2 are not sparking. Installed new coils, changed line and filter from petcock to pump. re-epoxied the cdi boxes.
This all made a difference. It ran with no choke for a few minutes just below 1k rpm then quit, never to restart.

If i switch the wires from the cdi box to the coil, will that hurt anything. I want to see if it is the cdi or the coil.

Cheers.

Correct Joe. 3 and 4 were the only one that would fire so I switched the coil feeds and 1 and 2 were the only to fire....1 bad cdi. Now to try find one that won't break the bank.
