You said the O relay is pulling in, but also said the O relay coil is not being energized.

I'm officially confused. If the O relay is pulling in, do you mean the ball return coil isn't pulling in?

My confused guess is that your score motor switch at 4C is not making. That's a pretty common problem when you are not getting a ball return coil activation. You've also got to check the NC XB switch and the make/break on the P relay. But I'm guessing score motor switch.

Have you made sure the kickout coil is good?

Fair warning, EMs are infamous for switches that "look" good but really aren't. Jumper them to be sure.

LOL, we certainly aren't talking the same language. Exactly what does "energize it manually" mean?

OK, so if 4C will fire the outhole coil when you manually close it, then XB is closed, then P is closed and the switch on the O relay is also closed. That tells me that 4C is the problem when the motor is running-it's not making.

Multiplayers will take more cycles to reset than a single player.

You're sure you're looking at the right switch on 4C? I have to ask.

If it works when you manually close the motor switch, then all the other switches have to be good. Something on that switch isn't right.

If the O relay is energizing, there's absolutely no reason why the outhole coil won't engage, assuming all the other switches are correct, and assuming the outhole coil is good. The trip bank is resetting? If that isn't happening then again it points to 4C.

If everything else on the startup sequence is happening, then I'm stumped. TimMe is the guy who can solve this, or Dirt Flipper, but he's on leave. You might PM Tim and see if he can solve your issue. I can't think of anything else here.

Have you actually watched the score motor and seen the state of 4C when the O relay pulls in?

I'm still trying to figure how in the world the O and P relays were the problem when you said if you manually closed 4C that the outhole coil fired. That's just bizarre. But that's also Gottlieb. Those small relay switches are extremely finicky.
