ToTAN BAZZAR KICKER

(1/1)

ToTAN96:
Ball will not shoot out of the BAZAAR kicker... I kicks but VERY WEAK... not enough to toss it back out on the playfield

So do I need a new solenoid or something... Anyone got one?

Ken Chaney:
It is unlikely to be the coil.  Where the plunger rests against the bracket (the back of the plunger with a round flat piece on it) there should be a rubber insulator grommet.  If that is missing and the metal plunger is resting on the metal kickout assembly, it could cause the problem you describe.  Get some felt dots from a hardware store (they sell sheets of felt dots that are various sizes under an inch) and put one on there to replace the missing rubber "rest" and see what happens.

If the rest is not missing, move the plunger by hand.  If it is binding, find out why and replace whatever is out of shape, or clean out whatever is in the way.

If it moves smoothly, it is probably an electrical problem.  Do you get full voltage on the coil when it is sitting there not trying to kick?
