Need some help with a left flipper problem. When you push the button the left flipper goes up like it should then it wont go back down, it just stays up. The right works perfect. So When I looked under the cab at the coil and flipper build the right one will switch up and down with ease and recoil back up byitself without issue, but the left one is tough to push down and won't come back up on it's own. So from some advice from other people I took the coil apart and cleaned the inside plastic sleave of all the black carbon, and dried it of course, then sprayed some wd40 where the shaft goes in the coil and rocked the flipper back and forth and it seemed to help for about 10 seconds then it stuck up again. The spring also on the metal shaft doesnt seem like it is pushing too hard to put it back up. As I said the right one slides like glass up and springs back up no problem. So what can I try to get this flipper to work right? I heard of a flipper rebuild but that is basically what I did. It seems like it is rubbing against something in the shaft or a washer is pushing against it so it wont recoil. Any pro's wanna take a crack at what I can try next to fix it without having to buy a new coil and flipper assembly?
Thanks/.
