And this meager info is all that I can find.

Hm. Four coil firings equals two full revolutions of the crankshaft, if I remember correctly.

So 1000 rpm would have 2000 sparks per minute, or 2000/60 = 33 Hz. That's nowhere near the two frequency ranges shown in the specs, so those specs have nothing to do with coil firings. Even if I forgot to carry a 1 or something.
