Got my flipper issue solved, thanks guys!
I'm now looking to tweak the well walker, as he registers phantom hits.
Do I adjust the switch (pic 1)? And if so, how?
Seems as though it's "off" when depressed, and registers when it's released.
So would I bend the arm down?
-or-
The spring (pic 2) seems a little weak and flimsy. Maybe that should be replaced with a newer one?
My pin was folded in storage for a few months. Maybe the spring was stretched that whole time, rendering it less effective?

Any thoughts guys?

Looks like the easiest way will be bend the arm slightly away from the switch.

If you don't have a spare spring you could try cutting a coil or two from one end and reconnecting. Be SURE you have the ability to bend the newly cut spring in a manner that will reattach to where you detached it from.

Page B14 in your manual shows the spring part number 265-5003-00 89 cents at Marco.

Thanks for the reply!
I had a couple extra flipper return springs on hand so I used one of those instead. So far it seems to be fine.
I figured that I didn't really want to mess with the switch, so much as stop the zombie from bouncing around too easily.

I just tried the same thing with the flipper return spring. The flipper return spring is shorter than the original well walker spring, but I still had to further shorten it to stop the well walker switch from activating when other things where being hit or when I nudged.
