OP

Quoted from RDReynolds:

On my POTC, the 30 degree coil (the one near the pop bumpers) does not properly eject the ball out. It fires, but just doesn't get it out, like it doesn't have enough power. There's nothing physical stopping it - it fires properly, just not enough juice to get it out of the socket. Everything else on the machine works perfectly. Ideas here? Anyone ever used a slightly more powerful coil? I've seen this on several POTC machines (my other one was pretty weak too)...

OP

Quoted from RDReynolds:

Yep, sure did. It seems to be absolutely fine. Replaced the coil as well, made no difference at all.

OP

Quoted from RDReynolds:

I replaced the entire mechanism and it seems better. It still doesn't really fire the ball out very much though. How far should that coil be sending the ball? All the way to the pops? Or just rolling it out and down? This is the second POTC I've owned and I think both just barely moved them out so kinda curious what the behavior there SHOULD be...
