hello
i think i am having a problem on my creature from black lagoon. my right flipper works like normal all the time, EXCEPT when the ramp diverter drops at the top of the playfield for the upper "creature" ramp (the one that leads to the "swamp"), my right flipper barely (sometimes not, but almost) has enough power to get the ball the wholeway up the top ramp. sometimes i will get 1-3 good shots barely making it but then on the fourth shot it will be a little weak. is this a dirty sensor, end of stroke switch? any help/ideas
thanks in advance
 
General causes for flipper weakness

EOS switch contact is dirty, flipper bushing is mushroomed, the coil sleeve is dirty/needs replaced and/or the flipper pawl is worn out and dragging.
And a VERY slim chance the coil is bad.
 
Maybe the pitch is up too high and it can't power it up that incline...
