The best way to find what you are looking for is to look at your printwheel. Right in the middle of the carriage there is a part that hits the printwheel. That is called the hammer. If you look down on the left side you will see a blue piece of rubber that attaches to the hammer. If you continue to look further down the hammer you will see the solenoid that activates and hits a screw that sticks out from the hammer. The end of the solenoid is where the "cap" can be attached. You do not have to remove the solenoid to install the repair "cap" if that is what you are really looking for. A technician can put in a new cap in less that 30 seconds.

Hi:

The reason it does this is the print solenoid is gummed up. The print solenoid is located within the carrier. It would need to be removed and cleaned with alcohol to free it up.

How do I make key srrike harder on an ibm Wheelwriter 6? The print is to light on carboned forms.

The print solenoid cap is probably cracked or the solenoid is gummed up or there is som debris in the print area. Look for debris, Give the back side of the solenoid located just inside the L. printer side frame under the ribbon. If these don't help we sell the cap with instructions and shipping fot 20.00.

Why is the print is too light?

I assume this is an IBM wheelwriter Your problem is either the print solenoid plunger cap is cracked or the plunger is gummy.
Try a little WD40 on the front of the print solenoid plunger if that dosen't help the pad will need replaced. It is a little tricky.

The sol is located just inside the L. sideframe of the printer under the ribbon, round about 1 1/2 in diam.
