Hi, I hope someone can give me some advice. My mk1 55 started running on 3 cylinders this morning. I tracked the problem down to one of the outputs from the coil not producing a spark. As far as I understand each of the two coils puts the same output into 2 of the ht leads (wasted spark system). Sure enough when I swapped leads 2 and 3 around, the non firing cylinder worked fine and the other failed.
I need to get home from work, about 10 miles. I have now already run it a few miles on 3 cylinders and want to avoid further damage to cat / bearings. If the output from the coil to two HT leads is identical, then can't I wire both 2 and three to the one working output from that coil? Or is this likely to do more damage than running on 3 cylinders? Any opinions before 5ish greatly appreciated!
