Hi!

I am sure this is an easy one for you experts.

I decided to make a flipper rebuild on my MM. For some reason the left flipper does not rise high enough to the same level with the right flipper when energized. Have a look at the pics where I have pushed the flippers to their upmost level. The left flipper stays far behind the right flipper, even though when not energized, they are on the same level.

What have I done wrong here? I noticed the spring on the left flipper should be replaced, but it should not have an effect on this, correct?

Thanks for any info!

That might be it, thanks! I might have left an old coil stop to the one on the right and on the left I have
the one from the rebuild kit. I will check it tomorrow.

I changed both coil stops and they are now the same, but it did not bring any help here. I also noticed that I had accidentally put an old flipper bushing to the one on the left. It was not very worn as I mistook it for a new one - but might it be the culprit?

I ordered a flipper rebuild kit, but received left and right flipper rebuilds in different bags - you mean that the parts in them may vary from each other? And you are referring to the flipper link?

Thanks! And so it seems.

That's true. I noticed that the other one of the screwholes, where the coil bracket is attached on the flipper base sub assembly had lost its threads, so I had to order a new one base sub assembly.

I did find in my storages another plunger and link assembly and used that. It is much better that the one I had in (and of which the photos were taken). It is not completely the same to the one on the right, but it is good enough for playing. I asked the store where I bought the flipper rebuild kit to send me a new rebuild kit for the left one, so with that hopefully everything will be at 100 % again.
If there is any difference after that, it may very well be for the different flipper base sub assembly then.

Thanks for all the advice, you guys are really good!

Thanks for the tip - I didn't quite catch what to bend here, if there is a picture that would help...

Thanks!
