I finally figured out the problem and a bad trigger wire was not helping either. I also calculated the rpm wrong because i do not have a tachometer. The base resistance was far too low. I now have 500k on each trigger, 800rpm, 35-40ma@12v. All transistors and coil are cold now 
Is the rpm for the current draw ok? The battery is dropping 0.01v every 12 hours but that's just a guess, i can't tell untill i let it run for a few days. Maybe someone can tell me if i am calculating the rpm correct. I connected my scope across one of the trigger coils and took the frequency of the sine wave. I then multiplied it by 60 and divided it by the number of magnets on the rotor.
