Impossible to make the left ramp
Just played a game. The left flipper doesn't really seem weak, but a clean shot from a cradle does just barely miss making it all the way up the ramp. However, I made it several times from shots on the fly.
I haven't checked the game's inclination, but it does look like the front leg levelers are screwed all the way in, while the back ones are fairly far out. Perhaps making it a little less steep would make it possible to hit that shot from a cradle.
The left flipper power is set to 35 MS and factory is 30 MS. So it’s already maxed out according to the software settings.
I took a swing at the left flipper, tuning. I replaced the coil sleeve. There is some slight uneven wear on the coil stop. I wonder if the coil stop is slightly too long, and shortening the swing rotation. The flippers also don’t seem to be correctly positioned. They’re at an up angle by maybe half a degree versus a straight 180° line between the ball travel and the edge of the flipper. I did lower the left flipper a tiny bit, but it did not make enough of a difference
In the end, I’m able to make the shot from a cradle about one out of three clean hits.
I don’t think this has anything to do with flipper fade, because I was playing the game cold
I lowered the back legs four full turns. Hopefully this makes the ramps a bit easier to make. Let’s leave this open for a bit and then possibly close later. I did not replace the coil stop, however it did have slightly odd wear pattern, maybe that needs to be replaced
Seems like it's fixed.
