The transformer only has 2 pins what am I supposed to do ?

OK... by now you have noticed that the coil you got is not the same one as illustrated in the directions.... The coil that you have has a single red wire coming from one end and at the other end are two small pins... The way to choose the right pin is.... set the transformer down on the flat surface side of the transformer , face the two pins toward you with the red wire coming out of the other end. There will be a pin on the right and one on the left.... choose the one on the left to solder the wire to... it needs to be at least 25 cm long or about 10 inches. Cut the other pin off as close to the case as possible this will prevent arcing to the wood in the area of the transformer. That is all there is to it..... when you do the soldering make sure that you don't leave any solder sharp points as this will cause crona to come from the points and decrease the efficiciency of the unit.... Hope that helps....

I had to use some wire that I had purchased myself.

Depends what is missing... any of the resistors can be purchased at a parts house... if you are short a capacitor... leave it out and run with one less the performance will be about the same

Item not working. It was missing wire and never would generate spark. Is there a troubleshooting guide or way to see what is wrong?

You should include pictures of your wiring, maybe then somebody can see what you did wrong. Read reviews for other people's tips. There is no trouble shooting guide
