What coils are on your flippers?
I have rebuilt all flippers,but it seems that there is just not enough punch in them at times to get the ball up the ramps.Have cleaned and checked the optos etc,with not much improvement.Any ideas?

Thanks Guys

According to the manual;

FL-11629 for the lower coils

FL-11630 for the upper

Make sure the EOS is gapped, and that they move freely without resistance (do this with the machine off)

Also - Is your machine set at 6.5 Degrees ?

Yes set at 6.5 degrees.
My bottom coils are FL-11630.
So are the FL-11629 more powerfull? If i changed them to what is supposed to be there do you think that it would make much difference?
Thanks

Hi Honkey
check for flipper bats carefully for any cracks this will make the flippers seem weak

If you have the $$$ lying around - it might be worth investing in a Flipper Kit ?

The coils will make a difference  ^^^

That is what is installed in my machine and I have no problems at all. 
I was looking through my manual the other night checking all coils are correct (as I have started rebuilding it) and noticed my manual has a FL-11629 for the upper and lower right flippers and a FL-15411 for the lower left flipper.  Maybe my manual is older  !@#
I think I'll leave it as I have never had a drama but wonder which is correct?
