I have six 022 switches that when engines pass over slowly stall out. Any way to adjust the continuity? thanks

SIX? Like in 3 pairs of crossovers, right? Let's see a layout diagram.
no cross overs. all switches on one block, just when an engine with one contact crosses over slowly the engine stops loses power. slight touch forward then on to moving
That's normal operation for engines with one contact.
gotcha is there a fix? I have a K-line diesel with two contacts but only one gives power to the engine

What's the other pickup doing?
nothing
Well there's the problem; it should be paralleled to the other pickup.
Then with two of them you will likely bridge the dead spot.
Yes I am going to have to trace the wiring . Thanks
Along with the pickup rollers, have you checked each turnout with a meter? 022 turnouts sometimes have continuity problems due to solder breaks inside the unit.

True, but he only has one roller on the track, so that's the immediate problem.

Is this a Plymouth? Most K-Line diesels have four roller pickups.
