[TCML] Nearly First Firing

[Simon Dodd <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

I went for first light this evening!! Unfortunately there was nothing!  
My spark gap fires when there is no capacitor bank in place but as  
soon as I put my MMC into the circuit and connect the main parts of  
the coil, the spark gap stops firing :-(  I am using a 10Kv NST with a  
static spark gap and 16, 20Kv 1000pf capacitors in parallel. These are  
from the calculations on deepfriedneon.  The spark gap will fire if  
the lead to the outer ring of the primary is left unconnected.

Im sorry its not too clear, I can do a quick diagram if you want more  
info.

Thanks for your help again

Simon
