Motorcycle Repair: 1977 GL1000 standard, coil wire, carbs


Question
Hello, I have a GL1000,  the carbs have been rebuilt.  It will not fire on the right side, which does not make since to me because the coils are split one fires the front and the other fires the rear,  I have gas coming out a exhaust leak on the right side header, the right side head is cold.  Any help with why the whole right side is not firing?

Thanks, Chris.
