Sitting on the bike, the posts facing toward you
Right coil is #1 and #2
Left coil is #3 and #4
1 and 3 cylinders one the right side of the bike.
From memory,
far right is #1
center right is #2
center left is #3
far left is #4

Check the connection on the left coil. Make sure the black/white has a good connection.
Measure the voltage while running to determine if the coil is finding a ground. If it is, you probably have a bad coil.

I do have a good spark at idle, good compression, if I pull #1 or #2 it will die . I am getting a good blue spark on all of them. could it be the carbs need adjustment?
If you're satisfied that it's not a spark issue as you stated before, then pulling one plug wire will not cause the engine to die. You have a problem to resolve.
But you still haven't told us what your symptoms are.
Does it idle rough?
Does it smooth out above a certain rpm?
It sounds like the front cylinders are doing the work, and the rears are loafing. Possible sync, possible idle circuits.
