Hard to know what you're describing without video, but even when working correctly the bonus count does not have a consistent cadence due to the score motor pulses it uses:

On a regular bonus count the 1000 points and chime are fired by the #2 cam which sends out groups of 5 pulses with a consistent gap between groups. On a double bonus the #9 cam is used instead which sends out pairs of pulses with inconsistent gaps between the pairs.

If you're not hearing these patterns I wonder if the teeth on your score motor cams are worn. Closing the gap on the relevant cam switch might compensate for that.

Quoted from fb_rider:

I'm bound and determined to get a better perspective on these schematics.

Good for you. You might want to read through these topics to get a better idea of how things work. Not necessarily specific to your game, but in general:

There are also plenty of other topics in the EM forums with schematic snippets and explanations that should be helpful.
