As you know there could be a lot of causes.I would start at the plug caps,

And as it's a GL I assume it's the electronic ignition and not the CDI type so I would then test the wires to the Advance and Retard unit.There's Colour circuit diagrams in Electrical section and hopefully you have a manual?
