Damping resistor placement is wrong. Think about it.
Woody is correct, the position of the damping resistor in post number #276 is wrong. It should be connected across the coil, not across the coil and blocking diode.
The resister network should be to the anode of D13. Where it is now it bleeds voltage off the fet, or, it defeats the purpose of D13, the capacitance blocking diode..
If he use enamel wire then the self-capacitance will be high and the coil to have not the ability to work fine at low delay (near to 10us)

Geo...yes that's what G.S has and he might as well try it....Like i said he needs to keep coil wire capacitance low and most important R = Resistance as low as (0.4 ohm). Enamel wire 0.5mm will not be suitable as R will be over 1.0 ohm.
