[CAUT] Friday puzzler

[Gary H.]

You've probably done this, but to isolate the problem-to  or away from the
key(s)-have you removed the top stack, put on key leads and checked the
behavior?

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.

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.
