I've seen several posts regarding the lower right flipper on Batman forever being weak but none really have the answer to fixing it.

I have a Batman Forever that use to have no problem getting the ball up the lower left ramp to load the bat gun. Now it only makes it about 3/4 of the way.

So far I've rebuilt the flipper with new bushing and complete rebuild kit and I've replaced the flipper controller board with a Rottendog board with no change at all.

The only thing I didn't replace when I rebuilt the flippers is the EOS switch because it looked good. I did file the contacts to make sure they were clean.

I've seen suggestions of replacing the coil with a stronger coil but there has always been enough opposition to doing this that I don't want to push it.

They changed flippers half way through production of this machine so it has the Stern flipper assemblies.

Suggestions?

Quoted from zacaj:

That's a low voltage gold played eos, you should never file it. It shouldn't affect strength anyway. Even with it disconnected the flipper will probably work the same. At least that's how wpc is, as far as I know these are coded the same way.
Does it use the same coil as the left? I'd try replacing it with one of the same (correct) windings.

Got it fixed. The EOS switch was bent slightly and replacing it has fixed the problem.
