No start one day starts the next day. Next day starts but misfires. Replaced ignition pulse generators, plugs all have spark. Replaced rear coil. No pattern to start/no start condition. Repaced vacuum fuel valve. Suspect spark is weaker than should be. When running, if I remove the rear right (drivers right) plug lead and hold just off plug then cylinder will start firing.This is not always the case. I live on an island in the Bahamas

finally sorted when I replaced both plugs. I've never come across one failing instantly before in 30 years of motorcycling (maybe that's because I ride old bm's!)

try the wires from the coils as when you constantley rub them back and forwards when changing plugs for instance,mine became worn and i cud get the bike to run on 3 cylinders then 4 simply by bending one of the 4 coil wires

yes buddy it the coil not making a strong enough spark say its only making 1000volts insead off 15000volts example hope this helped buddy

If the spark appears to be weak only for the two front cylinders, then I would suggest checking the electrical connections for the ignition coils.
If the spark for the other two cylinders looks the same (yellow), then I'd suggest checking the compression on the non-functioning cylinders. A compression reading of 140~160PSI is what you're looking for. Low compression indicates internal engine damage - or could be from something relatively simple - like insufficient valve tappet clearance.
If the bike has been sitting for a long period of time, it could be that the carburetors are plugged up with fuel varnish. This can cause some cylinders to not run. A complete carb disassembly and clean-out will be needed.
Testimonial: "thanks for that feed back . there is plenty of fuel and compression is non existant on front left and 80 psi on front right,I suspect cam wear????"
