TECH: F-14 Kicker and Left Lock Coil

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I finally got my F-14 to start a game. I got my stuck jet bumper coil fixed
and it looks like everything is working except for the Kicker coil and the
Left lock coil. The switches for both of these are working but the coils
never fire. Wiring and connections are good. Any ideas are appreciated.

They don't fire in test.

Found it. The red wire that runs to the relay boards was burned through in
a spot. Took some searching but got it fixed. Now I have to figure out why
it loads two balls sometimes int he left center kicker and on that right
side kicker. It seems to never load anything in the right center kicker.
But the kicker works if I drop a ball in it. The machine never seems to
actuate the upper diverter but it tests out in the tests. It seems like it
just activates the bottom diverter each time or none at all. If I lock ball
1 in the right side kicker and ball 2 in the left center kicker, it then
repeats into one of these instead of loading the right center kicker.

This is my first System 11 pin and it's been a lot of fun so far. Lots to
figure out since I bought a project.
