Quoted from undrdog:1. I've read Vid's guide.
2. Four out of five of my pop bumpers have the correct coil- g 22 550. One of them is labeled A 22 550. What's the difference?
3. Vid recommends getting new spoons on the theory that the plastic spoons get a worn spot and the bumper will always favor that spot. The spoons on my machine (Heat Wave) are metal. OK to keep them? (Haven't taken them apart yet... trying to get the parts ordered so I don't have five disassembled pop bumpers on my bench for a week while the parts get here.)
4. Heat wave has two sets of pop bumpers that trigger together (two reds that are paired, and two greens). Why are they paired up?
The one coil has the same power but a different frame size. That's the difference between A and G.
The metal spoons are fine. The only reason to replace one is if one breaks. I don't know how a plastic spoon could get a wear spot in it since the skirt end sits in the center and goes in all directions but whatever. No need to replace metal spoons.
Howard answered the other question. The didn't always do it. Sometimes each bumper has its own relay. I don't care for the paired situation but that's what they did.
