Well, i have done most of the tings that i have been told to do about the
secondary and primary strikes, but, now i am having another problem, i made
a party cup cap and it is now making a sizzling sound and not working
anymore, what has happened. Am i going to have to buy some caps now? Also,
i am getting small sparks from the secondary to the primary, they are not
connecting to the primary (at least, i don't so). Is this supposd to happen?
Thanks
Adam
