Quoted from Thunder90:My score motor was giving me trouble like this. Stopping late. Same issue of balls getting stuck in kickouts. Cleaning the gear release on the drive shaft fixed mine. The gears continue to turn after the power is cut. There is a gear on a spring on the driveshaft is pulled into position by the powered motor, and is supposed to spring back when power is cut so that the cams don't continue to turn
Quoted from vipertblck:thanks! it's almost as if I need to re-set the timing on mine though....if that makes sense. focusing on the index cam, mines stopping too early. needs to stop at the 12 o clock position and it's stopping at the 11. it seems as if something is telling it to stop too early though. if I manually trigger the reset relay with my finger, it'll reset and cycle through everything and stop in the correct position at 12 o clock, but if I hit the button on the front of the cabinet it stops at 11 o clock. there is a freeplay doorbell adapter hooked up to the front that seems to override the main original red button somehow, could this be tied to my issue somehow?
also did you have any guide or something explaining the cleaning procedure you did on your score motor?
I had a similair issue on Bally Night Rider and I shot some PB Blaster in it and worked grwat.
Edit I should have stated the little wheel that pulls in when the motor runs is where I sprayed PB Blaster.
