Question -
I am getting no spart on front cylinder.  Could this be a valve adjustment or something else?  All new parts on bike.
Answer -
If you are getting spark to the rear clyinder and not to the front then you either have a bad coil, or a bad plug wire or a bad plug.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike

Mike,
We tried  interchanging coil outlets and still no spark on front cylinder.  Have new coil new wires and new plugs.  Is there anything else it could be?
Answer -
I forgot to ask before, do you have a stock ignition or is it a single fire?
Mike

Mike,
It is a stock ignition

Answer
I am puzzled by you not getting a spark. You stated you have a new coil and plug wires. Since you have a stock ignition it will be duel fire and both plugs should make a spark at the same time. When you say you are not getting a spark, what method are you using? Also, make sure you dont have a single fire coil. The posts that the 12 volt wires go to, how many are there?
