It was working fine one day and then it quit. what should i check first? It seems to move freely, but just wont activate, even in the test mode i get nothing. Everything else seems to work OK.

Check the switch w/ the rollover wireform that activates the kickback. The switch could be bad, or the wire might need to be tweaked so when the ball pushes it down, it's hitting the switch button.
 
Ill check it out, but wouldnt you still be able to activate the coil in test mode with a bad switch?
 
Check the soldering on the wires to the coil. Vibration could have caused them to shake loose. Also, the diode (there is one on this coil, right?) could be in need of replacement or it too could have rattled loose.
