Pachinko machine ball shooter help

[machgo]

It does move freely, but it does not move to block the balls from entering. I was wondering if maybe it needed to somehow be attached to the shooting part itself and only allow one in at a time. Thank you

The shooting lever should open the part in question to allow only one ball onto the shooting ramp at a time, then let it close after the ball is loaded. That's why you can, with a little touch, load 2 balls at a time by pressing the launch lever just a little bit then resetting.

My guess is the launch lever is not letting the plate cycle, therefore holding it open.
