Do you mean it doesn't clear the ramps sometimes?

To stop the ball from rolling back, make a cut in a small rubber ring and place it on the circular ring right at the end of the wireform. The ball coming over the VUK will loose it's spin when it hits the small rubber and it won't roll back.

That's not the fix for this.
This is.

Here is the problem.

The problem is the ramp is now too low because we added the cliffy. The ball catches on the cliffy. I had this same issue.

The fix.

Remove the screws to the ramp and Add washers under the ramp to make it flush with the cliffy. Now the ball will roll freely no matter how it comes to roll there.

If the ramp is slightly HIGHER than the cliffy thats OK it will just roll off the edge but if the ramp is LOWER the ball will come to rest against the cliffy.

Cool fix Judremy. I cut a black post sleeve and put it on mine about a year ago. A grippy rubber ring or sleeve at that location seems to reverse the back spin the ball picks up from the wireform, and puts a nice forward spin on the ball helping it go quickly right to the upper flipper.

Until I did this, the balls used to spin backwards out of my wireform real bad making multiball not so much fun.

I see said the blind man.
I don't have that problem...I misunderstood the issue.
But if I ever do....that looks like a great fix.
Very good.
I thought I would try to help you but you ended up helping me.

I just went to try mine....It does spin backward. but it really only moves about 1/2" to the left. But as the cliffy gets worn maybe it will roll even further. I'll have to keep an eye on that.

Awesome tip,I will be putting that rubber on my WhiteWater,I did not know why sometimes that during multiball?and other times,a mystery ball would roll down the Spine chiller ramp,Definitely a machine that you have to keep up on the finer tweeks.

The little rubber ring is my favorite WH20 fix. One of the most exciting things in pinball is stacking that 5X playfield with the 3X multiball jackpot, hitting that insanity falls ramp and hearing the game scream! If the VUK part of the game isn't working correctly it's nearly impossible. Your placement of the rubber ring is perfect.

Hey,Thanks for these tips,I will be doing these soon/tomorrow + next day and doing LED installs.
jalpert.I will look at that switch/ramp repair you reference.I have never gotten to or seen the mode you mention with my machine,What scream do you mean,obviously a sound but does Sasquatch scream or what?It's OK you can tell me.

When you have 5x playfield going, and you get 3x multiball jackpots, the announcer screams.

With the way the ball rolls there's no stopping the 'english' or 'spin' that the ball has. It's the english that causes the ball to roll up rather then dropping onto the ramp, then down it.

Captain obvious strikes again!

judremy,I will have to add a couple more (rubbers) as well on my VUK,the ball on mine still kinda goes backwards,from the back spin.
The ramp fix helped tremendously,by angling it down the shot is almost a can't miss now.

I just installed the Cliffy VUK protector and ran into the spin issue listed here. A quick search on google brought me here and the little rubber on the wireform trick fixed my issue. Thanks!

I was wondering if I might ask two WH2O questions, yet please forgive me for hijacking a thread....

1). In a WH2O I know of there is a small gap between the the ramp right behind Bigfoot and the Spine Chiller ramp. Regretfully, sometimes the ball gets stuck in that gap, thus is there any way to close that gap?

2). The fur on Bigfoot's left arm does not attach to his hand. As such, when he pushes out the diverter it looks like his hand comes off and is stuck to the log (really creepy looking). I have tried many substances, like glue, etc., to fix this with no luck. Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks all!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I tried hot glue once before and it just made a mess... However, I do appreciate the suggestion!

As for the spine chiller, thanks! If anything, that will make the skill shot easier!

Trust me, that full hard stainless VUK plate will never wear
It is .041" thick so in most cases you will need to shim up the end of the plastic ramp to match height. The mounting holes in the plate are slotted to allow you to slide it right up against your plastic ramp and eliminate any gap.

Thanks Cliffy!All your products kick As-,at least the full set on my WhiteWater and the one on my HSII.

I came up with the rubber ring fix for the backspin problem a few years ago and posted it on RGP.

You can adjust the side to side level a little lower on the right in the rear, a better fix is washers on the two left posts under the MPF.
The Cliffy also works great, fill the divot with JB Weld before installing and make sure to push it all the way back to the ramp so there is no gap and make sure the ramp is a hair higher than the plate.

True dat, I reused it when I did my PF swap and all I had to do was regrain it.
There was no divot in it after hundreds of plays.
