Ok So now, I watched your vid, You definately have hot spots. You need to remove the wick, re oxidize(i do mine with a torch small torch)then wet the wick with a little liquid, set that liquid on fire(3times or so) allow it to burn while holding the wick horizontal(this helps build a coating of Oxidization) then re wrap the coil, bend the top inward toward the post to minimize the open area between the post and wick. Fire dry, watch where the red stops(that is where the short is hapening) move the coil, re-try until the whole coil glows from top to botttom. This should get you started, but keep in mind the genesis is a fickle bioch, so hopefully you have an easy to use device available while you are getting the genny going... Good Luck, Much Patience.....
