Angry 1981 GS-850 High Speed Idle Timing

I gave my 1981 GS-850G to my brother-in-law, who has run into a problem he can't figure out. He is a very good aircraft mechanic with a lot of motorcycle experience.

His description of the problem is "The high speed idle timing is off. There is no spark at high speed idle from two of the cylinders."

Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing the problem, or what to test to narrow down the source of the problem?
