Default Intermittent spark

Ok so bike is a Wild West.
S&s 124 in motor
Bike will not start. Rear coil fires no problem but front coil only will fire sometimes and only when I tap the starter button a few quick times.
Bike has an electronic ignition.
Battery is fully charged.
I have traced wires and everything seems to be where it should although a wiring diagram for this thing does not exist anywhere. Coils are both testing 3 ohms.
Any ideas
