Probably not your problem but at some point last 2 years ago i was getting loud bangs like that.  turned out to be sparkes hitting the RF ground by traveling down the secondary coil form on the inside.  took me too long to realize what was happening and i ruined the secondary. it had fractal patterns burnt into the pvc. looked pretty cool wish i had kept it.
