I have a fresh Pro with a few problems that I'm not entirely sure how to fix.

#1 plunger feels weak. Full plunge = rather soft launch
#2 auto plunger misses 3 bank left a fair amount
#3 right orbit exits left orbit and SDTM

I saw a mention of adjusting coil strength to help the plunger, but it seems like the manual plunge is also off. I also read something about a guide rail adjustment, but didn't see any details on how to perform the adjustment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from Kobaja:

Check if there is a bit on the lane guide. Even if you can fell it only with your finger nail, it can bump the ball.
For the other two make sure the ball doesn't touch the right Jedi target upon launch. It did that with mine for a while and resulted in the same behaviour as you describe

Added yesterday: Bit was supposed to mean burr. Sorry for this, I'm getting super annoyed with autocorrect on my phone...

hahaha...i was wondering what you meant when you said to check for a "bit". i'll have to check the rail for any oddities that might be causing the ball to redirect to the center like that.

i still need to figure out why the auto plunge is acting strange. sometimes it will touch the banks, but doesn't register a skill shot. other times it will launch long towards the left ramp or the tie fighter. there is also the occasional weak launch from the lane/gate that dribbles out into the center of the play field.

one of the 3 bank shots is acting up. it will randomly award a hit when the ball isn't even in play. are there any known fixes for this?

i've taken off the glass and inspected, but it appears to be random. when it is malfunctioning the switch behaves backwards. if you pull on the target it will award a hit, but if you push on it as if it were during play it registers nothing.

Quoted from 2pupPinz:

Make sure the leafs are properly spaced on the standup target

do i need to bend the leaf(s) in some way?
