l1 and l2 at the same time

there is no way l1 and l2 fire at the same time. if l1 is at its compression stroke the l2 is not yet. if they where you would have the most wobbly unbalanced engine ever made.

I'm not sure that you could be any more incorrect.

Look up the term "wasted spark" and you'll see the error in your ways.
