Is this a brand new problem? Did not do it before?
Oh, oh. Might want to go back to the last ball relay, where I suggested that you retension one switch that is in series with the ball return solenoid. Could be that switch is not opening when the last ball relay energizes ???

Agreed, last ball and game over relay I would check. I always tighten the screws on the relays before I adjust them.
Quoted from Raff:Will check the screws on the relay. So is that a yes to the last ball relay should energizes on the 5th ball.
No, the last ball relay should energize when the 5th ball hits the outhole. At least it does on my Hot Shot. But in order for the ball count to advance, the first ball relay needs to be adjusted properly. Does ball 5 light up in the backbox?
Quoted from kermit24:But in order for the ball count to advance, the first ball relay needs to be adjusted properly.
The first ball relay is working at the beginning of a game when the first point is scored the fb relay pulls in.
Quoted from kermit24:Does ball 5 light up in the backbox?
Yea it lights up.
From the start of a game the ball count starts on 1 and will go through to number 5 with the numbers showing on the back glass.Its only after the 5th ball drains that the game keeps going on.

If the Last Ball relay (XB) activates but the the Game Over relay QB1 doesn't, Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

Pinball (resized).pngOk have made some improvement checked switchs at lb relay and the go relay ajusted them and cleaned them. Now at the end of the game the game shuts down so far so good i noticed the nuts on the side of the control bank were loose so i tightened them up and the screws on the relay switches anyway fingers crossed .

Quoted from Raff:still seems to kick the ball out every few games
This switch on the Last Ball relay (XB) is probably gapped too tight
