Hey guys just lately I notice my whirlwind the game will throw out two balls instead of one to the ball launcher every once in awhile. It never did this before I am a pinball newbie its my first one can anyone tell me what to check or what part to replace to try and rectify this problem?

Thank You very much guys

This will be a switch issue, likely one of the ones in the trough. Basically the game is losing track of how many balls are installed. Put the game into switch test, remove the apron and then test each and every switch in the game. If you find a bad or flakey one check the wires to see if any are broken and if not replace the switch.

Thanks Menace this ended up being the switch was sticking or something I fixed it with a little bend or tweek has not been an issue since.
