The condensers are certainly worth a look but it is not likely that they both fail at the same time and then work again, just an idea.
Their job is to extend ignition points life by absorbing the spark between the points and the bike can run without them just to prove the point for a short period.
The fuel filter is easy to check, just pull the hose off and open the tap, should flow fine.
Have you checked the fuel bowls ? ( release the bottom drain screw on the float bowl and check for water etc. ),
can also check the fuel delivery that way so the filter, hose, float needle and any thing else is checked as the flow should be sufficient, it's a quick and easy check to do and the reason Honda puts them in for our convenience.
My cb550 drops 1,5 volts between the battery and the 12v side of the coils, always has done, so that's not perfect but normal given the path of the 12 volt supply through the harness, switches, fuses etc. at 5 Amps or so.
