[CAUT] Friday puzzler

[Paul T Williams]

Nope.

I've tried switching wips, hammers.  Nothing is catching.  I didn't change 
anything else.  Just put the original wip back in just now and still no 
progress.  With hammers up and away.  I put in a new wip and it was worse. 
???? 

I pushed down on the origianl wip and key and comparing it to a neighbor, 
properly regulated, it feels quite a bit heavier on the push, so Im 
getting closer. no prob on the mortises, key, balance, holes, jack cushion 
or any of that.  there are 4 leads in the front of the key, so maybe I 
should take out a lead. 

But WHY did this action behave before I took the stack off the first time 
to raise up all the sharps as they were too low?  This is a natural key 
which had nothing done other than raise up the blow distance a bit? Why I 
always get the weird stuff is beyond me!

Looking for more input, please.

Paul

I've had this happen: Front rail pin contacting front edge of mortice.
That took a long while to track down. Now I always check it when a
key is sluggish for no apparent reason.
