I've had an issue with the left flipper on my Stargate being weak for a few years now, and I've even created a thread about the issue before, but now it's gotten even worse, to the point where I can't make the right ramp shot at all. I've tried everything I know how to do and at this point the issue seems to be beyond what I know how to fix. In an attempt to fix the problem I have
Rebuilt the flipper
Replaced the coil
Replaced the flipper button switch
Made sure solder joints on the coil are solid
Done grounding mods
Made sure the 120V jumper is being used
The flipper is still too weak to make it up the ramp, it doesn't even get close. It used to be that right ramp shots were fairly easy for the first 15 to 30 minutes of play, and the flipper would get weak over time, but now it's just super weak to begin with. The other two flippers seem to have plenty of strength, especially after rebuilding them (The left ramp can be made easily and the ball goes up it very fast) but the left flipper just doesn't feel all that snappy and right ramp shots usually don't even make it to the top of the ramp.
I'm convinced at this point that the issue is electrical, but I wouldn't know where to begin looking to diagnose an issue like that. I'd like to measure the energy going to the flipper coil to confirm, but I'd need some guidance on how to do that with my multimeter. If anyone has any advice, please let me know! I'm not going to stop trying to fix this until the issue is fixed once and for all.
