Syco
simpler(?) to try first.. move the coil forward or back 1/16" to see if changing the plunger/coil startpoint might help them hit a little harder. not deep enough could be making them mushy, or too deep making them slowish. I'll admit it right now too that I AM just guessing (and maybe right?). these units were mass produced slammed together, something 1-2mm off wouldnt have been noticed in production, but might be why-how your flippers are TOO weak?
no cost but a little effort experimenting with coil-plunger start position/relationship.
(hell, if it works.. sorry I didnt think of it a long time ago!)
check plunger pull angle and plunger puller angle stuff too while there, any kinking or binding in any of the stroke causing plunger to drag in its sleeve? small adjustments to where the coil casing is planted might (finally!) get your stuff working better, I hope.
