Re: [TCML] Coil Test Firing

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check the spark gap width (narrow it). You should connect the caps 
directly across the transformer with nothing else connected to the cap 
or transformer to adjust the proper gap width (open the gap up as far as 
possible with consistent and steady firing, and remember to turn power 
off before adjusting). Once you've achieved that, then hook the rest of 
the circuit to it and try the coil.
