Hi Tomas,

Yes, fix it. Glowing spots indicate a problem and power is being 
waisted. They can turn into larger glowing spots over time and 
eventually burn up that area of the secondary. Been there and done that. 
Yes, the coil will work with those glowing spots. Just because the coil 
is sparking doesn't mean there's not a problem. Do you know why the 
bottom has glowing spots?

Take care,
Bart
