[leadsled01]

The throttle cables on my '87 shee seems to be dragging and needs lube.Really makes my thumb sore. Will wd-40 work ok?

use triflow before you use wd-40

I had a cable one time that was retarded stiff and we didn't have a spare handy so we took one of those small grease needles and stuck it down in the cable tube and pumped grease down in there until it came out the bottom of the cable. Cleaned up and worked it a couple times and it was smooth as ever. We ran it like that for almost 3 months after that without doing anything else.
