After the skill shot kicker sends the ball into the bumpers, the ball comes back down into the skill shot lane and is kicked again several times before it reaches the playfield.
Ball keeps rolling back into the skill shot lane: missing one-way gate
Cause: The one-way gate at the exit of the skill shot lane was missing.
Checks
- Compare the lane exit with the parts location page in the manual or another machine.
Fix
- Fit the one-way gate (members gave A-14372); if only the wire is missing from the bracket, a new wire can be bent to fit.
