Most bikes before 1980 have points (i'm sorry but I don't know for sure with yours, ) however if you know, then ,,, check the points and everything connected to them, if your sure that the coil has power, then its going to be a problem in the car , ie rotor , points, or the cap itself

Testimonial: "thx it was the points it took some time to clean them up but i have fire now thx you.ill need to get need new plug wires sometime in the fututr"

Have 79 gs750E got fire and fuel will not start? Was running than acted like it balged down. Got it back. Now no start

CHECK THE POWER TO THE COIL, AND FROM THE COIL TO THE SPARK PLUG; TAKE ONE OUT LAY IT ON THE BLOCK CONNECTED TO THE WIRE, NOW CRANK THE ENGINE AND LOOK FOR A SPARK. NO SPARK NO POWER. CHANGE THE COIL.

How do i wire the coils on my 78 suzuki gs 750. spark plug order which spark plug wire goes where??

There are 2 coils. The coil on the left provides spark for cylinders 1 & 4. The coil on the right provides spark for cylinders 2 & 3. The firing order is 1-2-4-3.
In case you don't know, this little tidbit is something to carry with you for life: Whenever a reference is made to a place in or on a vehicle, it is ALWAYS the perspective "from-left-to-right" of the seated vehicle operator.
In other words, in your case, as you're sitting on the bike, cylinder #1 is the one furthest to your left, and #4 is furthest to your right.
