Turns but does not start

There are so many things! Firstly check spark to the plugs and fuel to the system and the cylinders. Then check timing. After that it gets complicated!

Sounds like you still have an issue wit the carbthat feeds the front cylinder. (A sticking float, or dirt in the needle will allow fuel to keep running)

Yamaha xv 1100 virago

To me it sounds like the coil is breaking down and not working at higher RPM's. You can take them off and have them tested at a service shop.

Fuel is leaking from under my 1987 XV1100 virago and front cylinder is not firing but does have spark. Any recommendations on where the fuel leak under the engine is coming from?

check the car to front cylinder hose it may have cracked and is leaking the petrol, thus not enough fuel in the front cylinder = no firing !
