I only tuned it up for max smoke. I didn't modulate. I did see a bit more dk and noticed that some if not all four tuning knobs were set in different spots after the tuning process as opposed to before spreading the coil out. I'm very upset i didn't leave it where it was but after looking at the three diagram drawings someone posted of minimum, intermedium and max capacitance I thought the mesh (capacitance) could've been more and that's why I seperated the coil a bit more.
This is exactly what i did. I pushed a small flat head screwdriver through each one of the coil rings and twisted it side to side until i noticed that each coil turn widened ever so slightly. The second time put a bit more space between each ring but that's what put the capacitor back in minimum capacitance. MOFO! I'm confident this will get to where it needs to be as long as your patience holds out
Thanks again 357

[QUOTE="Sonar, post: 571291, member: 47153"] I only tuned it up for max smoke. I didn't modulate.
