Running into an issue, On my Deadpool I'm finding the left flipper coil is getting really hot (plunger too). Like burn your finger if you hold it too long hot. I checked out the coil stops and they look ok, swapped the coil sleeves (no apparent wear or anything really), and checked the EOS is registering in the switch test. Flippers seem strong. I checked for any apparent shorts to, and couldn't see any wires that look problematic.

I took a quick look and it looks like there are two different coils:
Left flipper part number: 090-5020-20-ND
Right flipper part number: 090-5032-ND

So maybe this is normal since they have different specs?

As a side note, it's a 2018 pin that I just picked up and the family's been playing it all weekend without any apparent issue but on my other pins I've not noticed coils being hot to that degree. Any guidance on if this is an issue or how to tell?

Would Stern support help with this kind of thing even though I'm second owner?

I double checked the clearance on the flipper gap from the bushing and it wasn't big enough so I increased that and this has resolved it. Sometimes it's just the simple things.. (I also closed the EOS gap closer to the flipper so it opens slightly earlier).
