Hi,
When I press start the game resets properly and then the ball kicker struggles kicking out the ball. It usually tries a dozen times before the ball gets to the lane and then the ball count advances as it should but there is nothing happening on the playfield. The lights are all working and the middle kicker hole works, but is also weak. I've checked and replaced all the fuses and cleaned and checked jones plugs throughout. I've gone through and cleaned and adjusted relays and steppers and score reels etc and am not sure what would stop flippers, bumper and lanes from working...any ideas?

Yep, the score reels will reset to 0 if I manually change them. I think I'm getting a full reset but I don't know why the kicker lacks power and nothing working on playfield besides lights and kicker. Targets reset as they should also.

I don't use a schematic because they confuse me...must be the dyslexia But when the ball crosses the ball trough switch, it does advance to ball 1. If I play the ball it will go through through the 5 ball count until the game ends, so that all seems right. I'm not sure about the zero switch and the 6th position switch(I'll check them both in the morning) but I did take apart and clean the ball count unit.

Thanks dirtflipper, I'll check that too. It's both the middle kicker and ball kicker so I thought it isn't getting enough power to these coils maybe?...not sure how though.

Working okay now, it was the ball count unit zero and 6th position switches opened... Thanks Dirtflipper!
