Quoted from softwaredude:I was thinking could be poor switch contacts, so I cleaned them with an index card.
Might want to upgrade to some sandpaper.
Quoted from EMsInKC:Check your switch contacts on the score reel reset relay.
Agreed.
Quoted from softwaredude:The kicker will fire when there is a ball in the outhole and targets on the playfield are hit.
I don't know this game at all, but it looks like the targets on the playfield all score in multiples of 5, which means the score motor will have to run, to pulse the hundreds or thousands reels 5 times. So you've got a ball in the outhole, and the score motor turns -- according to your previous statement the kicker should be firing under those circumstances, correct?
More importantly, are there actual game conditions in which a ball would be both in the outhole and hitting playfield targets?
Quoted from EMsInKC:Why would hitting a target with the ball on the playfield activate the outhole kicker?
Yeah, and

Yeah, I think I understand the confusion -- in fact I think I contributed to it -- sorry everybody. Softwaredude, explain it to us nice and slow.
Quoted from EMsInKC:It's like he's saying it fires when there's no ball in there, but doesn't when there is.
