Wow,. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I pulled the coils and tested them. Im reading from 5.1 to 5.4 ohms across the screw terminals, and 8.1K to 8.4K from the + lead to the center prong. May seem nuts, but I put the coils in the oven for a while to heat them up to see what they read while a bit hot. Resistance rose across all of them a bit, 6.0 to 6.5 ohms lead to lead, and 10.1K to 10.6K from positive lead to plug wire prong. They read the same as my original readings when they cooled down.
So.....theres not one that jumps out at me.
The grounds to all of them were a bit loose, I swear EVERYTHING vibrates loose on those things. The wires are a bit crappy as well....when I was in there soldering the condensors in, one of the ignition wires was kind of dark.... I am going to rewire all the grounds and Ive got half a mind to re wire all the ignition wires as well down into the stator. I dunno...I rewired the entire accessory system, all the lights, horn, blinkers, etc way back when I got the bike but the ignition wires are all still 40 years old.
The carb idea sounds very possible. I can see one of them not filling quick enough when Im getting on it and boom, a big lean on one cylinder....
My rear tire has a nasty split in it anyway and I am in dire need of a rear sprocket. Ive got to get all that squared away before I start riding it again. While juggling in getting my boat ready and my vintage MX stuff ready....I swear winter is not long enough sometimes. Of course we have NOT had any winter to speak of here in Maryland. Thats whats really driving me nuts, I need to be RIDING!
thanks again! I will let you all know what I find
