[DMCForum] Re: Bound throttle

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walt,

Thanks for the info. This morning I found the cable completely bound 
at the "rest" position again.

The spool and linkages move very freely. I surmise that since my 
sheath as become undone from the end cap that water is in there and 
freezes overnight.

I'll try to find your cable grease. Baring that, I'll put anti-freeze 
in it. I hope not to have to though.
