cdi box

Hey guys found out I got no spark on #4 cylinder and after some test it seems to be my CDI box. Question is can half the box go out and the other half still work? I always assumed if one ever went out it would kill the 2 cylinders it controls but I can switch the wires and change which cylinder gets fired. Thanks

Yes one half can die and not affect the other side.
Try pulling the trigger wires from the buss bar and see if #4 might be broken???

Thanks for the response. I checked all wired and saw no issues wish it was that simple, these things are expensive
