The coils are breaking down when they get hot

Sounds like pulse generator failure. They often give up when hot, and come back when cooled down. Check them cold, then take your meter with you so you can check them next time it craps out. Could also be output transistors in the ignition box.

Ok ordered a new to me pulse generator set. Unfortunately they too ended up have one pickup dead and also the same pickup as what died in my bike so I took the two good ones and put them in the bike but now I’m not getting any spark what so ever. I have another new to me set that will be coming but could be a week or two. I’m at a loss any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Edit… I repined the plug wrong. Will fix and update in the morning
