After rebuilding a flipper with all new parts, including the coil, it still feels weak and not snappy.
Flipper still weak after a full rebuild: EOS switch never closes
Cause: The end-of-stroke switch had a tiny gap, so it stayed open all the time and the coil ran on its weak hold winding only.
Checks
- With the flipper at rest, check the EOS switch is closed, and that it only opens at the very end of the stroke.
Fix
- Adjust the EOS switch so it is closed at rest and opens right at the end of travel.
