a recent problem just popped up with my Nascar, if I shoot the ball up the truck ramp when the cars are not spinning the machine will fire the truck ramp coil to push the ball to the ramp and back to the flipper but if the cars are spinning and the ball gets passed them it just sits on the switch until the machine goes into ball search mode. the switch tests fine, its just weird that the machine doesn't read the ball when the cars are spinning only...any ideas?

Does the opto on the ramp test fine too?

The only thing I would figure is that the switch the ball rests on is flaky and the rest is coincidence (cars spinning/not spinning). I would try adjusting the switch and if that didn't work then I'd replace the switch. I can't imagine what else the problem would be...

So I know this was 7 years ago, but I’m having the same issue? Did you switch it out or fix the switch? What’s the easiest was to get back there
