I had something similar on either Magic 10 or Bar X 10 can't remember which it was now tbh.

 

Anyway after DAYS of messing about the only way I could get it right floatwise was to dump it with hopper empty and then just play with coins till it had correct amount in and then they went to cashbox.

 

Never got to the bottom of what was wrong but once I'd done the above it was fine afterwards, so this might be worth a try if you haven't already done it?

did you dump hopper whilst empty and did you press hopper top up or just play it normally until they dropped

Dumped it while empty so it knew there was nothing in there and then just played it with pound coins till they backed mate.

 

Also just to note, the more I think about this, them more I'm sure it was Magic 10 and although it had no notey it held 250 coins and just wouldn't revert to the normal 125 you would expect for a £25 jp machine without a notey lol

its routed coin F £1 to exit C which is correct for hopper .. then other side is routed from C to overflow b which should be correct but either I'm missing something on how it works or its just not working

Here is my routing plug I hope pictures are clear enough

If that doesn't sort it i think it could be your seperator at the bottom of you coin mech.

tried 3 different mechs in all known workers so I've ruled out that .. beginning to think it's a problem in wiring I don't think mech and hopper are communicating

I can see reason for £250 hopper float on these if it does go on a very big roll .. I had over £200 last night on mine

The only other thing i can suggest is to flick one of the 8 dip switches with the machine turned off. Power on, (you should hear a funny noise) then turn power off and put the dip switch back to where it was before. Power back on and see if that works.
