Safety gap question

Howdy All,

I am running a small coil with one side of an OBIT, and put a safety gap
on it last night. I had to adjust the gap quite close to get it to fire
with nothing else attached, and then when I hooked up the TC, it
continuously fired across the safety. I adjusted it out to where it only
pops occasionally now.

I read that if your gap fires after you adjust it, something else is
wrong, but it didn't say wrong in what way. Can anybody help? I don't
wanna blow my new OBIT.

Thanks
