Hi Guys,
Well, I'm going to get this board rolling by telling you a little about a modification I use on my ssg.
I was playing around with the circuit one day, testing if the induced current in the trigger coil could power a relay... short answer to that is no, though maybe a smaller transistor would work.
Anyway, I found the ssg behaved in an odd way with the relay in the trigger circuit. The coils souldn't self resonate for a start, but the most signifcant difference was the fact I was getting higher RPM with far less amps!

and this is a video from Lee demostrating the effect of have the inductor in his trigger circuit

Most people are getting the same results as Lee. They are experiencing less amp draw but their RPM is reduced as well. So far, only Mart Hale (marthale7 on youtube) has reported the same results I am getting.
Anyway, I won't say more as it is all explained in the videos... if you have any questions feel free to post and if you try it let us know the results! Good or Bad!
