Hi there,

I have been having an issue for a while with my swords of fury; the diverters are need several games before they start working.
So it looks like a component is in need of a warm up and should be changed.
Any idea of what I should check?

Quoted from KenLayton:

Probably the coil plunger is dirty or gunked up. Take the plunger out and clean it and polish it. Also, replace the coil sleeve. This should make a big difference.

Nope, game was fully rebuilt recently (along with coated pf etc) and every part was cleaned, every sleeve was changed...
It really feels like a component needing to warm up.
Both diverters will start workign at the same time.

if the game is iddle, they'll still need several games before warming up. Looks like they need to be triggered for it to happen.

Cold joint is indeed an option; For the circuitry, I don't know unfortunately, thus my question here

ok, tried in test and :
top one is trying to activate without suceeding for a while
bottom is fine.

Will take it apart when I have some time and check.
Might actually be a sleeve issue as first thought by ken, though it'd be suprising, so soon after getting a new one. Will check the alignment.
