Thanks for the info on pri./sec./ tuning.
Now my understanding is;
When the toroid arcs it causes the capacitance of the toroid to
increase, this higher capacitance lowers the resonant frequency of the
secondary. Thus the primary is tuned lower to match the resonant frequency
of the secondary when it is arcing.
