Hey guys!

Anyone had a problem with Fish Tales long cast / plunger kickout loop?
When I hit the plunger, ball gets ejected but somehow it hits the rubber on the LIE gates or hits the metal just bellow the gate that opens up. Ball gets deflected like this and then with some spin from all the hits around just barely goes through the gate and onto the left flipper. Also many times when I hit the long cast ball doesn't go all the way. If the ball is hit slower, it makes the loop though. I think this is a separate issue related to the roll over switch that tell the gate to open.

Anyone had any similar like this? I'm pretty puzzled with this one as I'm not seeing what I can adjust. I took off the first LIE gates rubber to allow the ball to go when kicking it from the plunger.

I might be able to get a video for you guys to check out the ball movement.

Thanks a lot guys!

I have adjusted the slope a bit and took apart the kicker coil and cleaned it and looks like it did it.
I think I'll need to get a new coil down the line as this one feels to be a bit weak but it makes the loop now, its not 100% perfect but it works.

Important thing is that long cast via left flipper works nicely.

Ah - thanks for info, didn't know that!

I have a strong feeling this coil might not be the original one (rather some handmade/wounded).
Something is still messing the ball movement and causing weakness. Also some kicks make it, some don't. I have noticed that kickout button on the plunger is problematic and not always work correctly (sometimes it would fire multiple times upon press).
