I had the exact same problem with my gap.
But I also had a dimmer for varying the speed and it was the dimmer that
stopped working when the coil was running it had nothing to do with the
motor. I guess that the triac in the dimmer didn't like the interference
even with a mains filter./David

That's odd, since I and a number of others have placed
vacuum cleaner motor gaps right under our coils. I
recently had mine under my BigAss coil, running over
10 kVA.
