Quoted from pintechev:Take out the coil stop and see if it is broken.
Broken coil stop or a swollen coil. I had the coil
stop on my DPLE break not to long ago. The new stops on sterns are junk.

Quoted from LTG:No need to give him a thumbs down.
You may have ordered the correct kit. But could have been sent the wrong parts.
Nothing wrong with eliminating all possibilities so you can enjoy your game again.
LTG : )
Exactly. Mistakes happen.
Quoted from DNO:When the flipper “crashes” like described, the EOS switch isn’t functioning right.
I would start there.
Power is off in the vid. EOS is irrelevant.
Quoted from LTG:Definitely a mechanical issue.
And not much there. Flipper bat have a tiny bit of up and down play ( not back and forth ) to prevent the pawl binding under the playfield.
Coil stop broken, the part that rests in the coil sleeve.
Was it sticking like this before the rebuild/new parts ? If so remove the plunger assembly and make sure the pawl/plastic link/plunger wiggle freely.
Pawl going too far and dragging on the end of the EOS switch ?
Now the bat up and ball knocking it down and it flips back up is a different issue than the sticking in the video. For that I'd check the EOS and the flipper button leaf blade switches and clean them. And even if clean. The contact point that looks like a rivet in the end of the leaf blade, may not be making good contact. You could swap them left for right and see if the problem moves.

Exactly. No power to game in video. Any and all switches are irrelevant.
Quoted from LTG:Well yes and no. Video and problem description are two separate problems.
And with the game off, pawl could still be catching on the EOS blades.
LTG : )
True. I’m simply referring to the switch in the electrical sense. Not the physical. A simple moving of the flipper while watching underneath the playfield should reviel the offending part.
