Hey Paul,
I'm a newbie but you're secondary has an H/D of close to 1:9.which is pretty
long.Also you're sec. is 2 1/2" and you're inner turn on you're pri. is
8.25" which is to wide.And,lastly, you're power supply of one mot is
probably insufficient.
Like I said, I'm a newbie so I could be wrong.Good luck
Billy Mck.
