Quoted from SteveinTexas:It doesn't.
This was a mechanical issue not an electrical issue.
From the second picture the striker is attached to the arm with the coil plunger. The plunger on the 0-9 stepper is activated by the N relay that registers a 1 point score from the bumpers and the kickers via the advance unit. So when the plunger pulls in it could not bottom out on the coils stop as the striker hit the bell first. This makes the plunger for the want for a better description stutter. Once I pulled the bell away the stutter stopped and the issue went away. After a while I adjusted the bell closer to the striker and all is well.
But how did this effect the pop bumpers? Pop bumper closes N, N studders, what releases the pop?
