I have a problem with TAF swamp kickout which can't kickout if there are 2 balls in it. I already replaced the coil and coil sleeves but it is the same. Should I replace it with a stronger coil or is there a different solution which solves the problem?

Thanks for the answers. I will check all three in the next days and report back.

I took some time to investigate this and none of the above issues applied to me.
It happened to be that the coil had a 2 mm gap between coil bottom and coil mounting place so it wobbled a bit on every kick and lost some energy on this.
I put two wooden sticks to fill the gap there and kickout works as new now.

I marked in a photo where the gap was.

The permanent solution for me was to bend this metal a bit because it was not straight after so many kicks. You can also adjust it so it holds the coil tight. And be sure to have the right coil sleeve for it too.
