I am switching out a flipper coil on bk2k to try and fix a slingshot issue..but
I ordered the coil from marcos, it corresponds with the same number as before. when I go to tighten in the coil stop plate its very hard to get the plate to line up. I even tried the old coil sleeve to see if the new was too long. On both the old and the new, I can get it to tighten, but as soon as I do the plunger won't plunge, it just sticks into the coil..
Its as though something is angled. I have removed it and tried it multiple times, and each time i start to get it tight the plunger locks up..there has to be something I am missing...and I have held the plunger in while tightening..
where is my mistake(s)

i even tried the coil sleeve the opposite way.. thought maybe my visual image is wrong.
when i have it in there not tight the plunger moves freely..
I checked the neighbor flipper looks the same..as best as I can tell
I had a tech out for stuff before, even watched him take a coil off on another game...maybe thats my next step
in los altos

Just frustrating it seems like such a straight forward thing
Tempted to throw in car and take to calif extreme tomorw. Not really but it
Must be something easy
