Ted:
I'd have a hard time pointing to hardware that functions fine until #1 is
connected. It would seem that if your distributor shaft was bent or sloppy
#1 would have no effect.
What about your coil wire, did you change that? It's as if #1 is somehow
robbing all of the available power and the condensor can't recharge fast
enough.
Is there a difference if the plugs are in or out of the bike?
One thing that I've done when I've fouled a plug is pulled the offending
plug wire out of the dist. cap far enough so it can still spark. For some
reason this cleans out the plug. I realize that you don't have a fouled
plug, but it'd be interesting to try this to see if there's any difference.
Lastly, and I'm not trying to make fun of you, do you have the plug wires
hooked to the proper points on the dist. cap? Left cylinder to outboard cap
hole, right cylinder to inboard cap hole?

I've tried everything. prolem: #2 plug won't fire IF #1 plug is firing. If I unhook #1 plug (at any point) #2 works fine. I know this by watching my timing light fire or not fire What I've tried: Different plug wires Different plugs (2 sets) Different condensors (3) New distributor cap Different coils (3) Disconnecting coil + wires and connecting directly to battery + Disconnecting coil - wire from tachometer and connecting - directly to alternator What I haven't tried: new rotor ???? I'm at my wits end.
