On my Star Wars machine the right flipper seems to lose power at the end of the stroke. I've replaced the coil sleeve and coil back bracket. Now Everything seems to be tight and clean and in proper working order. But when I play the game and try to shot the left orbit or left loop the flipper is weak. If I mash the flipper button hard it will make the shot about 1/3 of the time.
And if I try to backhand any shots the flipper seems to work fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Be absolutely certain the EOS switch is making good contact when the flipper is at rest. Use the switch test mode to be sure. Compare the behavior of the weak flipper EOS compared to the left flipper EOS
Also, check how "early" in the stroke the switch opens.
No reason not to open the switch is late as possible, as long as it does truly open.
Bending the switch leaves with a leaf switch wrench allows you that control.
