Check the End Of Stroke (EOS) switch on that flipper coil mech. When you hold the flipper button, that EOS switch should open to reduce current to the flipper. The switch gap when when the flipper's up should be between 1/16" - 1/8"
Quoted from radfordian3505:Ok and what size capacitor did you install on your flippers. i believe I saw a while back installing capacitors to help with the arcing.
That picture I posted you're referring to was just me experimenting using 0.22uF 630V capacitors (I have a NOS box full of them).
The general consensus is to use what Williams used as 
wdennie mentioned which is a 2.2uF cap. Note it must be 250V or higher voltage rated.
If you're going to install them you need a capacitor on each flipper mech across the EOS switch.
