Thinking I need an exorcist

Ok so my 1 and 4 stopped firing. Swapped the following: plugs, coil, pick-up coils, ICI.
I've checked my continuity and everything is at a norm. I was starting to think points but it's apparently self adjusting and clean. I'm usually quite methodical but perhaps I've overlooked something or thought too far ahead. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

At the 1/4 coil, check the wire that supplies power to the coil to see if you have voltage there and what the voltage reading is. Ed

Thanks Ed! I think I have a terminology breakdown though. 1/4 coil?

One coil fires #1 & #4 (probably the right side coil on a 750-4). The other coil fires #2 & #3.

Haha! Yeah, I think my brain is oatmeal after going blind in this bike. I was thinking 1/4 as quarter. Wasn't thinking. Will run through it first thing again tomorrow. :lol:
