Harry,
You said #1 and #2. Is it specific to just one head? Check your spark ignotors, swap them around. Does this make them work and the others not? Check your plug wires also. I BELIEVE the way they go on the coil is from RIGHT to LEFT is 1, 2, 3, 4, and the firing should be 1, 3 , 2, and 4. Someone please help if I am wrong on this. (Make sure to Write down the way they are now before you do swap them around) . I do not want to tell you wrong.
Good Luck,
Nightrider1

I believe it may be your spark ignitors then. They are on the front left side of your engine, under the false gas tank, one bolted to the other.
Hope this helps,

Harry,
I have a set of spare cdi's (Ignitors) for a 1980 GL1100 Standard, but one went out with me. Should work on your GL1100i. The good one should not be hard to find. They are yours for the shipping. Please PM your address.
Thanks,
