Just picked up a good condition High Speed a couple days ago, it's my first pin. Had been sitting in a guys basement for 10 years with little play, so more or less just needed cleaning up.

Anyway, is there a way to calibrate the left drain kicker? I was watching YouTube videos of HS in play and it seems everyone's machine will kick the ball out into the right loop from there. Mine kicks it out directly at the post to the left of the loop but never will go up the loop. I'm assuming the kicker is misaligned somehow? I tightened the screws of the kicker but it didn't help. The table itself seems level.

In the picture the red circle is where my ball hits, the yellow circle is where I think it should hit, the blue line goes form the kicker in question.

Anyone have an idea to point me in the right direction?

Ok, I'll try that. It was bent up when I got it (looked like normal wear) so lightly hammered it back straight to where it would have been from factory, but maybe I just need to bend it back.

Actually that isn't a pic of my PF, just a pic I snagged off of Google. I did order a new inlay, rubbers and LED lights for my PF though.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I took off the left metal guide and rebent it and now the ball consistently goes up that right loop. It doesn't loop all the way around the back to the right side but at least now it gets up to the upper flipper for an extra ramp shot and isn't hitting the post anymore. I'm guessing if I mess with different bends and get the kicker a bit stronger I can get it to loop around as intended.
