Default spectre needs help BAD!!

The bike......1983 750 spectre..........the problem, from 3000 to 6500 the bike is missing on 2 cylinders under load and won't go faster than 6623, I need a test method for the igniter and ignition pickup and a general idea as to what to check and parameters to test readings. I have a auto ranging multimeter and all the tools a man would need. I just don't have the specs. I can't get a book since the bike don't run and it's all I had running to get to town. please help!

I'm sure you already know this, but spray header pipes with water to determine which two are running and which two are not. Water will stay longer on the colder (not running) pipes.
