/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm having trouble getting this ZVS circuit I'm working on to actually oscillate. Current seems to be only flowing on one side, in the path I outlined with the red line. I'm not sure why this is occurring. I've quintuple checked that all of my components are functioning properly, and that all of the connections are secure. What I don't understand is how power is flowing on one side only. If the main LC section isn't oscillating, then wouldn't power be flowing on both sides simultaneously?

It seems like the only troubleshooting advice out there on the internet for these circuits is to make sure you're using a fast start power supply, which I am already doing. Does anyone have an idea of what could be going wrong here?
