    Try specifically posting in the EM tech section. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/forum/tech-em

    Did you tighten the switch stacks before adjustment ?

    Did you use a switch adjustment tool ? ( I can't find mine )

    Does it use a spring for a brake on the armature & does that seem to function ? http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index3.htm#motor

    Another note from http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index3.htm#motor NOT to lubricate open brass gears

    Lubricating a Score Motor.
    The only part that needs lubricated on Gottlieb score motors is the felt needle bearing pad. This is accessed via a small hole on the bottom of the score motor. Just put a couple of drops of 3-in-1 oil on this pad. No other lubrication is needed! For example, do *not* lubricate the brass gears of the score motor. Brass on brass gears are designed for no lubrication. Same thing with nylon on nylon gears, and nylon on metal gears, use no lubrication. Remember the EM rule of lubrication, if in doubt, do not lubricate.

    Also a lubrication guide from a post here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-secrets-of-atlantismy-resto-thread#post-2064172
