My first SSG - wire problem

I just built my first SSG. I spinned the wheel ... and nothing. I checked the placement of all the parts and everything seems to be corectly put together. Then I checked the wires in my coil, I am using #26 magnet wire for trigger and #22 for power. When I attach 9V battery and light bulb to the #26 wire, light bulb lights up. Howerver when I attach battery and light bulb to #22 wire nothing happens. There is no electricity flowing through that wire. I've also cut a little bit of the #22 wire from the original spool I got from the bulkwire.com and attached it to 9V battery and light bulb and same result. No electricity running through it. Is there any special treatment one needs to do with the magnet magnet wire ends because of coating? I do not know what to think. Any help would be much appreciated.
