Hi Mike,

A lot of ways to do it mechanically. But, the idea is to "not" 
drastically change the gap. If you increase the gap too far, you can 
overvolt the transformer (and with NST's, it doesn't take much). It's 
all guestimate and there's nothing precise about it. This is why I 
adjust slightly to where it just won't fire (only a few thousands of an 
inch, nothing drastic). Sometimes in this mode, I have to turn the NST 
on and off a couple times to get it started.

Take care,
Bart
