Can you do a video on removing the lift rods to put on new covers on the lift rods

[@shawnmbowling]

I’ll add it to the list!!

[@techkingdata9338]

I'm pretty good at replacing ball lift rods 😆 replacing the covers with the fancy blue ones

[@shawnmbowling]

Let me know how they work! They’re expensive so we just haven’t seen the justification to get them

[@techkingdata9338]

@@shawnmbowling so far so good haven't had them on long enough to test durability but so far so good I'll let you know in a couple months what's the scoop on them

Can you do power lift ball damage repair

[@feastingturkey7118]

Issue with ball getting hit with screw at y track

[@feastingturkey7118]

Can you do a video of ball damage at your track

[@squirestim480]

Some people use a carriage bolt for your clapper box height adg. Works pretty good

[@shawnmbowling]

That’s a pretty good idea!

[@patrickwalker1740]

On a couple of our lanes we have balls going up the lift rods and getting stuck, but they are on the inside part of rods next to pit cushion, does this sometimes aliviate this problem?

[@shawnmbowling]

Like between the inside rod and the cushion?

[@keithblackketter2395]

The bar that you have across the liftrods. Is that to prevent pins from riding up the rails. If so do you have the part number? Thanks

[@shawnmbowling]

No that’s a clamp to keep the lift rods from spreading. At least an old one they have a newer style that is adjustable

[@feastingturkey7118]

Issue with ball not going up lift rod?

[@shawnmbowling]

Ball wheel dirty? Or one ball specifically causing issues?

[@feastingturkey7118]

Ball damage at y track

[@shawnmbowling]

Make sure all your transfer points are even or at least on a downhill transition. Also make sure that none of your tracks have burrs on them

[@levihayes5365]

So I see you have the zot kit I have both but curious on how to adjust the other sprint type I went by the book but having some yoyo problems so I added washers have you ever had to add a decent amount of washers say 10 or so to compress spring hard enough to make it not yoyo?

[@shawnmbowling]

We haven’t had to add washers to it. You can flip the piece that goes against the lift rod bridge

[@levihayes5365]

@@shawnmbowling my zot ones work fine I’m talking about my small spring ones. Anyway you have somewhere I can send you photos of what I got going on

[@shawnmbowling]

I know which ones you’re talking about now. We used to have a few of them and we just couldn’t get the adjustment we needed out of them. So we replaced those with the zot ones. Usually with yo-yo problems what we do is move the lift rods closer to the ball wheel, only problem is with the solid spring is that you run out of adjustment on the nut. Another thing we’ve done for yo-yo’s is putting a lift rod clamp on, that way when the ball goes through it’s not speeding the rods apart more and keeps compression on the ball for it to go up. Sorry I couldn’t have been more help

[@levihayes5365]

@@shawnmbowlingjust replying to your message I went threw my 20 share machine stuff and found quite a few zot kits and installed them instead now just hoping to be able to find a spring setup that works the same and order a extra or 2

[@feastingturkey7118]

can you a video of adjusting cork kickers

[@shawnmbowling]

What are those? Haven’t heard that term before.

[@feastingturkey7118]

@@shawnmbowling the kickers on the ball wheel

[@shawnmbowling]

Oh yeah, for us it’s just 1” strips of cork aka gasket material we put on there. But yeah I can do a video of that. Of course when I get all my equipment running again
