Hello folks

Over the course of the last 3 days, with regular play my Getaway all of a sudden has changed.
No moving the machine around, not toying with it, nothing. However still something changed...

Whenever it tries to eject a ball into the shooter lane, 50% of the time it will fall back into the through if there are 3 balls present. If 1 or 2 are locked, it will instead fall back into the through 90% of the time, making it really hard to play... Ball launch takes forever, and sometimes it never happens, and the machine ejects the ball from the lock, and during multiball it may never actually get out of shooter lane....

Anyone had this and dealt with it?

Quoted from LTG:

Check the basics first. dirty or worn parts. Coil sleeve cracked or broken.
LTG : )™

It appears that it fires too hard all of a sudden, thus making it bounce back in...

Nothing is broken-

Quoted from Syco54645:

My wcs does this when it gets off the level. Maybe it shifted a little or even the cab flexed around the legs. try lifting the front of the cab up and putting it back down. that solves my issue. My floor is about as level as a choppy ocean... The first chance funds allow it I am going to put down a sub floor...

I tried to do as described, I also tried to relevelling but alas, it still does it.

Video will be uploaded in a sec, though it seems like you guys know whats going on.

Thanks guys! Looks like om off the bending the flap... For the sake of it, here is the video I uploaded:

Aaand the fix:

I tried to bend the "flap" as blackbeard described.. I bent it down so it'd guide the ball downwards... And it worked.

However I didnt like how it hit the metal so hard, so I decided to bend it back and look for a different solution. So I bent it back to the original position, and guess what, when I tried to check if it messed up again, it didnt! So, basically I bent the flap, then bent it back again and the problem was fixed... Odd. I suppose its a little off from the original position, but that's not really visible by eye measure..

Thanks guys.

Quoted from sixpakmopar:

After looking at your video I see you were having an opposite problem to mine. Mine is a very weak kick that does not get the ball up over the wood. Glad you solved it.

Yeah, it shoots too hard and it bounces back... Anyway it's dealt with!
