Default 1985 FLHT Spark Problem

My neighbor has a 85 FLHT that only getting spark to the rear cylinder. It has a Crane H1-4 ignition. This is a single fire setup, correct? How do I check the coil? At one time he hooked up a tach, it might be wired incorrectly as he tells me the light in the unit blinks since he installed it. The bike was running fine and then just started running on one cylinder. Any ideas?? Oh,we changed the plugs and the plug wire. Thanks, Ed
