    Ok, The lower right flipper is weak and fails the flipper hold test. The flipper is strong when you first start playing but after a game or so it gets week and fails alot. Everything seems to be connected with no broken solders. All contacts are clean and making connections. could the coil be bad?

    Doesn't sound like a bad coil.

    I'd go into Tests - Switches - Dedicated , and swing the flipper bat up, see if the EOS closes.

    If so then be sure you have a tiny bit of up and down play on the flipper bat so the pawl isn't binding on the nylon bushing below the playfield.

    Be sure return spring is good. Coil stop screwed on tight. Plunger assembly moves freely. Coil sleeve isn't cracked, broken, or missing.

    I checked for flipper and plunger binding, EOS Switches and the springs already and they are all fine.
    Ill check the coil stops and the sleeve, but i doubt that that is it.

    Could be a bad flipper button leaf blade switch too.

    No, that seems to be working fine. for both the upper and lower flippers
