Most people are not aware that there is no multi-spark at higher engine rpm. 
There just isn't any time for multiple sparks. So what are multi-spark 
ignition systems good for? Maybe it's just a sales gimmick! If the first 
spark is powerful enough to initiate combustion, multiple sparks are not 
necessary. By the way, if a multi-spark ignition system generates 6 sparks, 
which one of the sparks would you want to be the one to ignite the mixture? 
# 2 or # 4 or maybe # 1? 

A spark, is a spark, is a spark, isn't it? 
No. The hotter the spark the easier ignition occurs and the sooner 
combustion is completed. A spark made by a flint, the spark of a ignition 
system, a lightning bolt, a spark is a spark is a spark? You decide! A 
match, a blow torch or a napalm bomb. What will completely burn, (ignite), a 
one acre parcel of forest quicker?
