Front cylinder is not firing
I just replaced the front and rear cylinder rocker cover gaskets.
While I was in there I decided to put new plugs and SE wires on.
Went to fire it up and only the rear cylinder is firing.
Checked the front spark plug and it is firing.
Rechecked all the connections I had to undo for the gaskets and everything is good to go.
Any ideas or input?

New plugs, new wires, no fire. I would triple check the new wires and leads to the coil.
Test the coil at the primary and secondary terminals for that cylinder. Is your set up single or dual fire?

Semper FI!!
It is sparking. If I take the plug out, connect it and ground it to the cylinder, I get a spark. So it is firing.
Single fire on an '08 1200C.
I just got done testing this out:
Tested out the coil on both cylinders and I used the old wire from the rear cylinder since it's long enough to reach both cylinders.
Tested these individually one at a time:
Front coil plug to front cylinder, nothing.
Front coil plug to rear cylinder, nothing.
Rear coil plug to front cylinder, nothing.
Rear coil plug to rear cylinder, fires up.
I'm assuming the coil doesn't know the difference between the front and rear.

I don't have a spare coil.
I ended up removing both rocker covers on the front cylinder. Something I also noticed is the spark plug doesn't appear to have any gas on it. Sight or smell.
I'm guessing the intake is stuck in the closed position. Not sure how to test or fix that at this point.
