"When the pulse switches from high to low, the igniter turns off the current in the primary leading coil winding. Since there is only one leading coil and there is no spark distribution, both leading spark plugs are arced. Obviously, one spark is wasted but with no ill effects."

This being a wasted spark i still do not see how one side of the coil "drops off" and then just starts working again, both sides of coil recieve the same signal and spark.. so im just not seeing how this is normal?
