Sorry, that’s what I get for doing “head
math”. Anyway, my point is still valid. It fires 8 times more often in
the rotary than in the truck/auto. Could the duty-cycle be the culprit? It
would be interesting to see the specs on these coils.

Each rotor fires once/revolution of the eccentric
shaft. Cruising along at 6000rpm, that's 600 sparks/second/coil.
Is this the new math I always heard about :-)
6000 rpm / 60 seconds = 100 sparks per second
