I just finished cleaning up my Diner and rebuilding the flippers. Before the rebuild, the left flipper was weak. I replaced the coil with a new one. All new parts, including flipper bushing. There is no mechanical binding, the flipper starts off strong, then during game play the coil heats up and loses power. I checked and it has 65 v =/-, which is the same as the right coil. I checked the wiring schematic and it is wired correctly. The EOS switch is working properly. What should I be looking for?

Thats gonna be a tough one since you covered all the bases. Not much to check after this on sys 11's. Triple check the EOS since thats a biggie for overheating a coil. My only guess at this point would be the eos.

Do you see it spark when EOS is tripped? Also press the flipper and manually pull the flipper back while holding the button on. You should feel it weaker then stronger when the eos untripps.

The Fuse Connector for the Left Flipper had a cold solder joint (on the auxiliary power board). I re-flowed and added a bit more solder and it works perfectly now.
