No Work Session for Rail-Mower in February

Had to leave the rail-mower at home for the February 18 work session, unfortunately, due to forecasts of heavy and continued rain.  Full details on my work session blog.  Discovered during a pre-work session inspection of the engine that the choke knob is vibrating its way out, causing the engine to run richer than the optimum mixture when it has been leaned out.  According to Frank Glatzl, the way the choke cable was run seems to be causing the problem.  We will have to re-align the choke cable so it is a straight shot to the tab on the carburetor that it controls.  At least it sounds fixable.
