I have a LW3 that works and plays great. The coil works and fires the ball great everytime, except during multi ball. If I start multi ball it kicks the other two balls out just fine, however if I drain a ball quickly during multi ball while ball save is still lit, the game attempts to replunge the ball back onto the field. This is when the issue happens. The coil is heard firing however the ball doesn't move. After about the 3rd time of the coil firing, the ball is launched onto the playfield . This only happens during a quick drain while in multi ball. Never happens during regular play or even during the start of multi ball. I am thinking the coil sleave maybe needs rebuilt or the coil replaced as on this game that coil gets used a lot more then usual. Just can't understand why the issue only pops up during multi ball ball save.

Any suggestions? Coil sleave or coil issues?

Adjust the switch so if fires earlier or later.

Remove the apron and make sure the kicker assembly isn’t loose. This is very common.
