Not sure about the spark issue but the only way to that I know to set the carbs is with the vacuum operated carb synchronizing sticks. You could also check valve clearance as valves that are to tight can cause hard or no starting.

Coils were notorious for going out on them back in the day.... A stator now and then also???

Sounds like a fuel problem to me. First I would check the fuel shut off and see if fuel is getting to the carbs.
Next I would check the fuel bowls to see if they have fuel. Unscrew the screw at the bottom of the bowls and see if fuel comes out. Next thing to check is spark at all plugs not just at 1. 1 coil fires no.1 & no.3 cylinder and the second coil fires no.2 & no.4 cylinder. Make sure battery is fully charged. If battery voltage drops below 10 volts while cranking bike won't start.
Here is my 1974 750K with a few modifications done back in 1975. I went through the carbs and completely rebuilt them. Only use Honda parts as many of the aftermarket parts are not right and will cause drivability issues. The Honda parts are not cheap but she fires up @ the touch of the starter button. Also, get rid of the dual points and get a dyna electronic ignition and you will not have any more problems.Attachment 25127
