My 79 cx500 is only firing on the left cylinder. The right is getting spark and the carb is getting fuel. I rented a compression tester to see if that is the issue but they don't have a small enough adapter to test my bike. Any ideas what I should look for or what might be causing this?

Just because the carb is getting fuel doesnt mean your jets cant be clogged

So how would I tell if that's the case?

The bike isn't running properly and the right cylinder isn't heating up. Hbox is still on

Also if I pull the right plug boot off there is no performance change. Pull the left and the bike dies

I'd try new plugs just to rule these out.

I am certain it is getting spark... I have switched the plugs from cylinder to cylinder and switched the boots to opposite sides also. The plug would arc against the frame so I am sure the coil and wire are good too
