I have searched through past topics and am running out of things to try. All pins have been replaced, all mods done. New coil and sleeve for outhole. Boards check out fine. Took apart and cleaned the outhole kicker arm, then even tried to cut away some of the spring thinking it might have been too much. Running out of ideas.

What specific game are you talking about? So you have replaced the pins on the driver board that drive this solenoid. When you intermittently ground the tab on the driver transistor associated with the outhole solenoid does it properly serve the ball? If it works fine, then replace the driver transistor it maybe weak. If grounding the driver transistor tab doesn't cause the ball to serve properly you have either a circuit path problem between the transistor and the coil or perhaps a bad coil. If you intermittently ground the coil tab opposite the diode lined side that should fire the coil and serve the ball if not the coil is bad.

Might want to check the fuse holder/fuse for tarnish.

Gottlieb pink panther. I even removed the spring all together and it could barely get the ball up. The mechanics all seem to work fine and it’s a brand new coil.
I replaced every pin the in the whole game.
I haven’t tried grounding anything yet because honestly I’m not sure how to do it. I would have to look it up.

Check the ball through and make sure nothing is slowing down the ball.

Are you using the correct coil? It's possible that the previous owner put a weaker coil into the machine by mistake.

Oh, I could I forget. If the driver board doesn't have a good ground you could have this problem. What this means is that you have to put in the ground mods on this machine. So before you do anything else, look up the ground mods and put them in.
