I've got a strange sticky flipper issue. It briefly stays up only after it has become warm after a little use. Otherwise it behaves normally.

Coil sleeve?

grease on the plunger?

Clean and degrease everthing.

Perhaps the coil has overheated and the sleeve has been compromised causing a slight bind. Or maybe the flipper has no play above the bushing and that is causing the bind.

Take it apart and see what's up.

coil sleeve. Replace it. If it's too hard to get it out of the coil, ,replace the coil as it's overheated and now sucks.

Or you dropped some gum on there.

Also the up/down play in the flipper. Williams supplied a handy plastic tool for this. Just make sure you have some up/down in the flipper or they will always stick.

Also check the coil stop .

Gets sticky after it warms up and stays up only briefly after a little use.

Are you sure you're talking about your flipper?
