Sparkplug and wire Question

[Guest]

OK 1981 Suzuki gs1100e. I know the firing order is 1 2 4 3. Ok that being said, The plug wires are numbered too, But Does the number follow the firing order? I took the bike apart the other day. Nothing major Oil pan and cases to check the clutch bolt and things. remove valve cover to check cams. Put cases, oil pan, valve cover, carbs, and tank. Now the bike will not start. It is like it is trying to back fire through carbs. when it tries to fire. The plug wires are the only thing I can think I did really pay attention to. I was just wanting to be sure before I continue. Thank

#1 and #4 are fired by the same coil (usually the LEFT one).

#2 and #3 are fired by the same coil (usually the RIGHT one).

You can swap the leads on the same coil with no problem.

Each coil fires both of the plugs at the same time, so it doesn't matter which lead goes where, unless one is just a little bit longer, then it goes to the plug on the other side of the bike.
