<< Ed,
Regarding the popping in the rotary: Are the electrodes somewhat
wide such as 1/2" or more? I wonder if the gaps could be re-firing
while they are still aligned after quenching? This would be more
likely to occur if your cap is a relatively small value, and if the gap
is running at a low rpm. Just a thought. I forget the specs on your
system.

John,
The moving electrodes are 1/4" stainless steel acorn nuts. The fixed
electrodes are 3/16" dia. tungsten. The clearance is set to about .040" on
each side. The static gap in series is three .028" gaps. The cap is .025
mfd.
