ball accelertor

[justaskme]

ball accelerator belt moves over to left of accelerator and cuts the plastic pivot arm after a week , i have checked and adjusted pivot arms to track the belt in middle when a ball is put in while i have the accelerator out. this is the 3rd time after a week and just cant find why

How about the tubing on the track? I've seen this problem when the tubing on the track was worn out.

Is it the motor that sits in the belt? if so i have had the problem that the motor has raised up one side out of the mount slot. causing the belt to run to one side.

the tubing is new the motor is in the mounting slots ok.

does anybody know if the piviting arms have to be installed as pairs ( the reason i ask i just replaced the arms but i matched them both up as a pair)...and it seems to be running so much better the belt doesnt move at all even when 2 balls are put throu the accelerator.

I replace individual arms and have not had any problems. But I had one of the arms where it looked like the slot for the front roller shaft was worn (just a bit) and it would let the front roller sit at an angle causing the belt to track side ways like yours just not as bad. I just turned the arms around and used the new slots on the other side of arms.

Depends on the amount of hole and arm wear there is. As sbrooks also points out, you can switch them up if they aren't too wallered out.
