On my Gottlieb Cowpoke @ start-up, I get the usual 5 balls to play. I also get 4 points, without playing a ball. What would cause 4 individual points without first ball in play? Thank you.

on start-up it is a quick 1234. The same time, as the horse bucking Thanks

Thanks for all your suggestions, I cleaned the contacts on the ones score reel and #4 bank of switches in motor. With a slight adjustment on a few contacts, and so far it's 100%. You guys are genius'es. Thank you, Keep flip-in.
