Subject: Ignition coil tesla

Hi guys,

I am new to this tesla building fun and have just finished construction my
first coil.  However I have a problem.  I am using an ignition coil to drive
the MMC and coil but I cant seem to get it to work properly.  The voltage is
not stepping up at all from the input voltage. This is the coil I have built
and everything looks fine from what I can see apart from the HV section.  My
ignition coil only has one terminal on the output so I cannot connect it
across the power supply in series with the MMC array.  Could someone please
help me I am desperate to get sparking!

Thanks for your help in advance
