Does anyone have any remedies to cure a sticky throttle cable on my
Midget. I've tried greasing the peddle brackets and the moving bits on the
carbs. I find it really annoying and difficult to control, sometimes it seems
to be all or nothing and I think it's putting premature wear on my clutch!
Perhaps I should just replace the cable. >>>
Have you tried greasing the cable? I suspect that the cable is the same
type as on my MGA,with the cable running through a housing, just like a
bicycle (in fact, it *is* a bicycle cable). Pull the cable out of the housing,
apply a liberal amount of grease, then insert it through the housing again
and hook everything back up. Check for broken strands or rough spots
while you've got it apart.
