Getaway tunnel shot kicks out too hard

I just finished shopping out a Getaway and my tunnel shot kicks out so
hard it hits the right orbit metal guide and bounces right back into
the tunnel. It will keep doing this until I nudge as it kicks so as to
make it ricochet at a different angle and not right back into the
tunnel shot. Is there any way to decrease the strength of the kicker?
It didn't do this before I shopped it out.

I had the same issue after I shopped my Getaway.
Rather than bending something or whatever, I replaced the AE-26-1200
coil with an AE-26-1500 coil. The -1500 coil is weaker and gets the
job done perfectly. Problem solved.

Since the purists out there will scram that it's not stock, you may
want to change the coil wrapping to look like the proper coil!
Personally, I could care less what the coil wrapping looks like. I
stll have some Wico knock-off colis that don't have the Bally or
Williams logo. They work just fine for me.

Do you guys think a AE-26-1200 would be to weak to get the job done?
