    Changing the overall primary inductance changes the  primary current. 
which could have a sizable effect on the primary gap's behavior  and quenching. 
    Typical primary tap tuning also affects the  coupling to the secondary 
slightly as well, which can also affect the gap  quenching.
 
    Other than that, I agree with your comments  regarding Gareth's advice.
