    Last valve adjustment was several hundred miles ago so that is ok

      Update

      Bike started (cold) and sounds like it's running on 2 cylinders until 3200 rpm and runs fairly well after that. Wasn't having problems before unless up to operating Temps and some time on the road. Plugs look ok, maybe slightly sooty. I unplugged spark plug wires from #1 cylinder while running (engine stalls) #2 cylinder (little change but can keep running) #3 cylinder (about the same as 2) #4 cylinder (engine stalls). From this I gather coil for 2&3 is failing, which I replaced last fall from a parts bike. When I swap wires and leads to the coil, the engine has a hard time running period, and stalls with any wire pulled. I'm guessing I might have a combination of issues going on here, so at this point it's taking a trailer home.
      Also forgot to mention I tried pulling the choke while chugging in second gear with no change in performance. It's no longer a hesitation, but feels like dead cylinders until above 3k.
