Quoted from baldtwit:

you're missing the white tubular switch lifter on the switch blade and your ratchet is installed incorrectly.
the length of the switch lifter is critical for reliable operation ... too short and you won't be able to adjust the switches correctly (don't ask how I know that).
you should be able to hold in the reset coil plunger, spin the ratchet counter-clockwise and when you let go, it whizzes back to the stop bracket argosysk mentioned and stops. The pin on the ratchet only pushes the switch blades when the unit is stepped up to the top step (15 steps counter-clockwise).
below is blibb's pic from another solar city topic showing the ratchet in the unit reset position.
if ya get a chance, can you post a picture of the score motor? Either the timing diagram on the schematic for switch 4D is wrong or I have an odd score motor configuration on a solar city.

Quoted from Peruman:

Stepper now works properly but the count is slow. Thanks for all the help with this. Plenty of posts here on the slow bonus sweep, lots to debug.
Alberto

Congratulations Alberto! You're one step closer. The slow count is exactly the issue I was dealing with, so follow baldtwit 's advice for me, and you should end up with a machine gun stepper as well. The game is so much better with fast, accurate, scoring.
