Yeah, my missus has been saying the same to me for a few years now,,,,,,,,

Oh, sorry, the other spark,,,,,,,,,

If you've got good spark on 1 & 4, then it will most likely be leads and/or plugs, possibly the cap.

The bits are not expensive, so maybe replace them all, and the rotor button while your at it.

I agree, it can't be anything too major if the outer two are firing OK.

I would say change the Dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads, & plug caps & I bet it will work fine.
