I've been trying different variations of air blast gaps on my coil recently, 
and I've had a small problem. It seems that the faster the air is blasted 
into the gap, the more unreliable the gap is. After a few seconds of run time 
the gap will abruptly stop firing and I have to flip the power off and back 
on again to get it to start firing. Sometimes it wont stop firing at all, and 
sometimes is does it quite often. Is there any way to remedy this?
