Quoted from Jgel:Well I decided that I needed to rebuild the flippers on my IJ. I got the parts a couple months ago at York and have been putting it off. Seemed like a big undertaking. Took about 2 and half hours to do both. I could not figure out why the left flipper was not working after, but realized I put the coil sleeve in the wrong way after 20 mins of troubleshooting.
The good is that both flippers work better and can make both ramps without issue now. Only two issues remain. The right flipper is slowly floating up out of alignment. After you play a few games the right bat is at a different angle than it should be. I tried to tighten everything again but can't get it 100%. Its not bad but frustrating. The second issue is the airballs from the center drop targets have now gotten out of control. The ball comes flying off it almost every game. Any ideas?
If the flipper is coming out of adjustment then you do not have the set screws tightened down enough or you need new flipper bats. I had a flipper bat on my shadow that would not stay in place no matter how tight I got it. Put new flipper bat in and good to go now.
