It would only be if the sensor for the electronic ignition was mounted at the front of the crankshaft,
and was triggered each engine rotation would you get that wasted spark.
My E I is triggered by a Hall Effect sensor mounted on the accessory case, that is geared
two to one with the crankshaft.
I will not get that Ryton sump destroying Wasted Spark will I.
Am I correct ?
Comments please.

Sorry Stan, you have two coils and each coil has two spark plug leads.
When a coil is triggered a spark goes out each lead and one spark plug
lights a fire and the other spark is wasted.

When I turn the light switch off in my office, the electricity isn't being wasted because there is no load on it. Could this be true for this situation? No load, no spark

I am not familiar with the waste spark system you are talking about, but am familiar with the automotive system. If you have two plugs being fired by a single coil, then the system fires one plug positive and one negative creating a complete circuit. The coil fires the first plug positive the voltage goes to ground continues though the engine block, jumps from the negative electrode to the positive electrode on the second plug and continues back to the coil. This means that one plug is firing on the top of the compression stroke and the other on the exhaust stroke...the wasted spark. I have a simulator in my classroom that when slowed way down you can actually see the positive and negative firing.
