Quoted from GPS:

it seemed like the last time I tried to manually activate it I had to push harder than I would have expected on the skirt to get the pop bumper to fire. You speak of a "score switch", where wouold this be? I thought that there was only the switch on the skirt and that in turn when activated would trigger the coil to fire the pop bumper. Am I mistaken here?

I believe you are correct. I'm not sure what Patofnaud means because as I recall there is only one switch under there, the one directly under the skirt as you mentioned. That is the one that needs to be adjusted if you're having a hard time actuating it manually.

Seems like my pop does work occassionally but not like it should

This almost certainly indicates an adjustment issue in this case. It shouldn't be that hard, just gently bend the switches closer together and give it a try. It needs to be set that the slightest hit will trigger it but that vibration doesn't set it off. Just a matter of trial and error. Be patient with it, you'll get it eventually.
