So servicing an Adams family and found this under the swamp kick out.

So for the last 17 years, the kick out has the wrong coil in, resulting in the ball being thrown through the flippers at great speed.
Took the mech apart, and found this.

If you have a kicker and can see the plunger on both sides of the coil , then your coil must have a sleeve with a flange to locate in the coil bracket at both ends. If not the plunger rubs against the brackets and causes loss of power and mechanical wear.
