I believe the front and rear coils are the same, so you can swap them over to see if the fault transfers to the rear cylinder. If not, you can rule out the coils.

Have you checked / replaced the plugs?

Are the HT leads tracking? Is the cap in good condition and firmly attached (they screw on)

Good luck and let us know how you get on...
