Hi Serge I was just thinking about your primary ignition system (the one with the centrifugal advance). You actually have two seperate systems there which are joined by one common mode of failure, the switch. If you changed the switch to a double pole switch with two seperate positive supplies and a seperate positive supply from the switch to each "system" you will in effect have a seperate ignition system for each pair of cylinders. I suppose the same goes for your secondary ignition. I don't know how well the plane will fly on two cylinders but I suppose that is better than none at all. If anything it will improve your glide slope! I plan on using an identical system on my corvair 3100 , only mine will have an extra pickup, an extra amplifier and an extra coil. The pickups will just have to be arranged 120 deg apart in stead of 180 and it should work just fine. I don't think I will even install a secondary ignition as you have because I think the KR will be able to stay in the air and maintain altitude just fine on four cylinders should I lose one ignition. Now to find a triple pole toggle switch if there is such a thing. To all, have a merry christmas and a prosperous new year.
PS. Steve from Zambia is now living here in Port Elizabeth and has been in contact with me for the past three weeks. I had a brew with him yesterday and he says Hi to all on the list. As soon as he has his computer set up and an internet connection he will join us on the list.
