This unit will not spin up but does self oscilate. I have not hooked up the second power coil yet.

This unit does cog alot harder than the first build could this be why it will not spin up.

Thanks for everyones help

Your transistor could be bad and possible you need less resistance on the base and thirty winds per coil may be kind of low you may not be getting the voltage you need to trigger your circuit. But I would check the transistor first.
