Surely.
Hi Kaiser.
You need to allow a return for the plug left in the cylinder to fire, so pulling one plug lead means there is no current flow. Ideally put a bolt or length of wire in the plug cap and ground it to the head etc, this will ensure the opposite plug fires.
I remember reading threads on occasions where a plug lead had been pulled on a 4 pot "K" and the engine only runs on two, also in the 2CV pulling one plug lead the engine stops.
