Get a diode on there.
Clean the optos on the flipper button opto boards.
If that doesn't do it. Remove the coil stop, slide coil off. Check if the end of the plunger has a sharp edge or is mushroomed. If so time to rebuild the flipper. I'd do them all then so your game plays like new.

Quoted from gpmike:I don't have a 1/10 the experience of folks on this board, but for the flippers I've worked on, the leaf switch should be normally closed so both coils energize at first.
That is on older games. This is a Williams fliptronics game. EOS leaf blade switch is open when the flipper is at rest. Closes when the flipper is energized and going up.

Quoted from jp1985:What else could it be? Coil?
No idea beyond eliminating stuff.
I'd pull the flipper coil connector off the board in the head. And for each of the three wires. Measure ohms to see if one is drawing ohms and pulling current down.
From the flipper coil to the board, maybe a weak connection, solder joint, something.
Flipper bat isn't cracked and sapping power ?
