ok...now that i've fixed my control room problem in my JP (FINALLY!
), i need to get the flipper fixed.
the left flipper is horribly weak.....it HAS enough "kick" to get the ball to the top of the playfield, but it is slooooooooooooooow to get there and very, very weakly hit. about 10% of the time, the flipper is so weak that it barely gets the ball 1/3 of the way up the playfield. if a ball comes back and hits the left flipper with significant force, it will sometimes just slap the flipper back down and drain.
my question is: what kind of a problem am i having? and where do i need to start looking to diagnose the problem & repair it?
please understand that i am a total n00b at repairs.....so use small words.
