On my 24 the right flipper seems weak, i can just about back hand the suitcase ramp if i hit it perfect and it just makes it around the left ramp, the Left flipper on the other hand back hands the left ramp with a lot of speed and power and hits the suitcase ramp so fast sometimes the ball will come off the wire ramp as its on its way back down. I have replaced the right flipper completly incuding the coil and the coil pulse it as its strongest. is there anything else i can check that may be causing it to be weak? any info is great :)
 
Did you gap the flipper bat vertically? I.e. there should be just under 1mm vertical lift in the flipper bat so you know it isn't binding on the through playfield bushing..

ah i didnt no as didnt realise that was a thing (first flipper rebuild) lol but will look into it, The flipper does seem to move as freely as the left though when moving by hand and i cant feel any resistance
