The guys are right. Has to be a polarity problem. Check the connections.

Did you sync the two carbs? If not the rear may be getting all the gas from the rear carb and none to the front. Twist throttle engine off and see if front carb cable is pulling the carb open.
Also unscrew the spark plug boot from the front spark plug wire and trim 1/8th inch off the wire and screw the boot back in. The plug wire end may be corroded on that wire.

If the spark is there then the ignition is working well : the CDI is generating the spark correctly, at the right moment - you can't have a timing issue at only one cylinder. That cylinder overheats and starts to detonate the mixture because there are carbon and calamine deposits in the chamber - you will need to remove the head and clean it and the piston.
