Well the lil' bastard works!  (did you know lil' bastard was the name of James Dean's wrecked porsche rs-60?)
 
But I digress.  Meehow pointed out how the wires could be either wound wrong or recognised wrong.  I was getting trace voltage which is all the transistor needs so I thought I'd switch the wires around of the trigger coil and viola!  It goes around and round!  I bought an old 12v power supply to something at the goodwill and it really racks up the RPM.
 
So (finally) on to the next step.
 
This has got to be the problem on yours too!

UPDATE

While reading up on the Monopole 3 site they mentioned how the chassis
tended to be too tight.
Mine would speed up and slow down and sometimes be hard to start going
so I used a real high
Tech solution--I stuck a cotton rag where the 4th coil is supposed to
go and that spread it.
It is going around in the garage attempting to charge a dead (10v at
first test) battery that Igor
brought me. It's on the SLAB!!!

I put little peaces of dowling to separate the plates. And I grease up
the bearings with Tri-Flow (found in bike shops) or anywhere almost.

Meehow has pointed out that the transistor I am using is NPN and that
is why the thing works by switching trigger wires.
Listen to him about going for a lower resistor.
