General stuff to do when you get a new machine.Check all fuses on the main board.Refloat the solder on the board connectors, and check for any oxidization of the connector pins, or blackening of the board. Particularly important for the GI circuit which suffers terribly from overheating and oxidization.Do LEDs 2, 3 and 4 light up on the SC board?

Posts suggest the screw mounts act as grounding for the coils, and may cause malfunction if not tightly screwed down.Triple-check the opto mounts and ensure the opto boards are screwed in firmly to the mounts. Remember there is significant vibration of that assembly.And ensure you read www.pinrepair.com for getting started guides.These guides were invaluable for me when I was restoring Pins of the 90's era.For specific repair tips for your supercharger, Google "getaway supercharger not working" as a starting point.Hope this info helps you diagnose the issue.Here is nothing quite like experiencing the speed of a well-maintained supercharger.
