Gary,

	Add some more static gaps in series with your rotary. I did
some low break rate testing earlier this week (10pps) my rotary with
about 0.055" of total gap fires at 6kV and quenches at 400 volts. My 9
gap cylindrical gap fires at 16kV and quenches at 2kV- 8kv. You are
just not getting a high enough voltage on the primary cap.
