Hello,

I would like to know if this is something normal on my Aztec machine.
The flippers are strong before it reach the up position (so the EOS is open) but become too weak when the ball is coming too fast.
When it happens, the flipper goes down a little until the OES become close which give to the flipper the total voltage. The problem is it give a kick on the ball which is very annoying.
When I bought the machine, the left flipper was doing the "machine gun" so I replace the coil with a brand new of the same model. At the same time I decided to replace the right too to get exact performance on both side. Now, no more machine gun, but this trouble.
I measure the voltages and get the same value for both side : 29.2V EOS close and 8.2V on hold (EOS open).

Flipper are buzzing too on hold sometimes but I don't think it's related to the weak problem and I could live with that.
I recorded a video to show you what happens :

Thanks for your comments/suggestions

Thank you I will reduce the gap so.

Quoted from Vintage-Pinball:

Not a bad idea to fit new EOS switches and flipper cabinet switches too. That way, max voltage is present right through the chain.

Thanks, you think my values are too low?

Thanks guy, I will take a picture of the coil stop to show you if I should replace it.

Here are two pics of the coil stop and one of the coil plunger.
