Hey guys. Been searching the forums a couple days now for an answer to my problem. I’ve seen several mist ball problems and magnet issues. Also seen several posts about 2 balls in shooter lane. I don’t think this is the same problem though. Plus those threads are old and I didn’t want to resurrect them.
I’m sure it’s something I can fix, but just wonder if anybody else has ran into this and what route they went.
Issue:
Basically the Mist ball is not reloading.
The problem I’m seeing is sometimes, not always, when mist ball is over, it goes to fire it back under the lifting shooter lane ramp and is rolling back down. Sometimes the ramp allows it to roll all the way back down to the shooter for another try, but most of the time it’s getting stuck under the lifting ramp. This causes the game to lose its mind of course...Goes into ball search...you know the drill.
What I notice after watching this repeat many times before it actually works, is the ball is hitting the ramp when it tries going under it. The previous owner for some reason looks as if they bent the metal Entrance tab. I tried bending it back up a little, and that worked for a few rounds, but back to same problem. The ball is still smacking the ramp on the way up and under. I’m not sure if the lifting ramp is going up to the maximum height, or the bent tab is causing it to hit, or if this is just normal on all BSD’s. I’ve even lifted the ramp manually and placed a ball up to it to see that there simply isn’t enough clearance, but again maybe that’s normal? Added pics to show Where the ball ends up when it rolls back and another to show that it doesn’t clear when ramp is manually lifted.
Possible solutions?:
Do you guys think I need to adjust/clean shooter to possibly fire the ball harder, orrrrrrr
is there a way to make the ramp raise a little higher?
Only owning the game for a week now, I’m not sure of all the normal behavior of the ramp lift. It seemed to work great until a couple days ago. I was actually amazed by the whole feature.
Thanks in advance for reading my big post, and for any help.
