Default f4 firing on zero cylinders. no spark

im now assuming my cdi or ignition pulse generator is shot. i have no fire at any cylinder. ignition coils shurly would not fail, all four @the same time. bike would die and restart at the end of the summer. but the intervals at witch it had to sit before restarting became longer and longer apart. if youve had this same problem. please. steer me in the right direction before i drop the money down on a cdi. thanks christopher....

Default Connections

Are all the connections up front on the harness good? The wire that connects all the coils and plugs into the harness might be loose or cut. Battery is good? Rectifier charging the battery up? Just trying to throw some ideas at you before you start dishing out the money.

Default redbones thanks.

ill try to check everything on the wiring. it was a stunt bike when i got it and half of the wiring has been replaced with speaker wire. i intend on getting a wiring kit and making a new harness. the battery is turning the starter slow even when hooked up to the charger. its prob junk as well. ill get out there tonight and mess with it some more. im wiped out i just made a 5 hour round trip to get the tail and upper fairing for it. its the f4i fairins so i can do the conversion. thanks..christopher.

Like said, you have serious wiring problems. It can't fire if it doesnt get enough power from the battery, and it sounded like the starter was drawing what little power it could and not leaving any for the coils. Glad you got some fire now, but repair all that or it will dissappoint you again and again.
