The comments above have been helpful - thank you.

Here's an update;

It was discovered that the coils and the spark plug wires were different.  New 6 volt coils and spark plug wires have been order.  Consistency doesn't hurt.  Also, reinstalled the old plugs (BP7ES).

Took the advice above and put a teaspoon of gas into the cylinders and the motorcycle did start up.  Subsequent starts, without gas in the cylinder, were successful. 

Will try again tomorrow when the motorcycle is stone cold.

Thanks for all the help.
