I am using Z13/8 with a dual EI (Lightspeed) setup. By default I have two ignition switches for L/R or front and back if you prefer. Since I am not using a keyway switch I am wondering if there is a way to wire a single switch to manage both EI’s? My design goal is to eliminate additional switches where they can otherwise be combined.

Maybe but why would you want to use a single switch..You now have a critical component that if it fails your engine will quit. I know that as the Plead is a ground lead that this is unlikely (assuming the Lightspeed switches the same way a mag does) but even so why do it for the sake of another switch?
FWIW.

Glenn, Frank beat me to it. Keep your ignitions systems separate as much as possible.

Dual ignition offers true redundancy only
if they are completely independent of each
other. They should share a minimum amount
of hardware . . . especially switches.

Thanks to all for your comments. Good points, they will remain separate.
