I drained and then the machine couldn’t get the ball back into the shooter lane. It tries repeatedly but nothing comes out

I took a look into this, and it looks like the coil that kicks the ball out into the shooter lane isn't doing a very good job, so the ball keeps rolling back onto the outhole switch and causing the kicker to fire again. It should eventually get the ball out, but it may take several attempts.

The return spring also seems weak and rusty. I'll see if I can get a replacement coil/kicker assembly.

I replaced the existing metal sleeve with a new plastic one and gave the rest of the kicker assembly (minus the coil) a good cleaning. It's working much better now.
