Picked this game up yesterday, everything seems to work pretty well except the supercharger doesnt fire the balls around the track. The ball either stays behind the gate, or rolls back down the ramp, bounces off the left post then ricochets perfectly down the right drain. Game passes all the switch tests , I just dont know when to begin looking to fix it. I couldnt find a thread that had a fix, so I decided to post.

The other lesser issue is the topper light comes on, but the light doesnt "spin" . I'd prefer to keep the original but if its an expensive or complex repair Ill just replace the beacon with an amazon one like I did one LW3 (which was missing when I got LW3)

If I'm not mistaken there is a belt that makes the light spin .. Good luck with repair ....

On the supercharger, there are 3 optos under the cover that trigger each magnet. They are controlled by a separate board under the playfield. I’d check there first if you haven’t already.

All the switches tested fine but the magnets werent activating. Lower board was ok, but the fuse was indeed blown, well kinda.

It tested good, then it didnt, then it did, then it didnt lol. I replaced it and we were back to green flag racing!

The light up top still wont spin. Mechanically it spins one way, but not the other. I was considering switching the polarity of the wiring going to the motor thinking maybe its wired backwards and wont spin. Like I said, worst case, I'll get the red version of the one I put on LW3

This is an AC motor, reversing the leads wont make any difference. Most likely the motor is bad.

Probably seized. Tap it when its supposed to spin. I opened the transfer case on mine, cleaned it out and re-oiled it and it worked ok for a little while.
