Halo B - possible jams

[Ginja]

I have had some issues in the past with this hopper and decided to have a look at it today.

Previously when I used it it had a victory 35 board in it and I noticed I kept getting the odd split. I took the shell off it, turned it on, covered the feed neck part with my hand to stop balls coming out, placed some paint in it and let it do its job. First few were all fed fine which was cool, then when they backed up due to my hand being there instead of stopping it just forced that last one down causing my hand to move out of the way.

So I am thinking thats not right, I take out the standard board, put that in. Do the same test, when it hits the back up it tries a few times to load it, realises its going nowhere then stops and flashes green and red.

Any ideas people as I am sort of hoping my motor is on steriods or something, or maybe I can un/screw something to adjust it.

Cheers in advance

sounds like a mode and the green and red flashes is showing it is jammed so if its a v35 then you want to turn it on it flasshes green three times. thats the right mode other than that i have no idea

Has the neck been shortened?

This can cause problems with eye alignment, which will mean it cant see the ball (it sees the gap between two balls) so it keeps feeding.

pretty much what's been said, probably a mode, or the eyes are fubar.
