ChrisCoccia Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Anybody have a proceedure for getting the throttle cable to operate smoothly again? It isn't kinked or anything, just really stiff. Quote
Reg Evans Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Soak it for a while in PB Blaster or something equal to that. Quote
MBF Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Like Reg says-soak the outer sheath with some type of thin lubricant. If there are no kinks you may want to pull the inner wire out and clean it off with a scotch pad and then lube up the entire outer legnth of the sheathing. You'll be amazed how easily it works when you're done. I think this probably needs to be done every 30 yrs or so! Home I'm still around the next time my stuff needs it again. Mike Quote
Byronb3b Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Once you have the cable removed and any rust cleaned up, coat with never-seize- works wonders !!!!! Quote
grey beard Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 So dies engine assembly lube - that white soft stuff. Quote
Reg Evans Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 CAUTION.........I cleaned and lubed one so well once that it didn't have enough resistance left to hold the throttle open to the desired position. Quote
