As usual I don't understand the question. I don't know anything about
electricity but I suspect this will burn out one or both mags. Keep in mind
that I'm usually wrong about such things. It seems to me that it would be a
fairly easy thing to add a spark plug to a two stroke head (it is aluminum I
hope) and a second plug will give you the redundancy I think your looking
for.    Rich Fox
