I cobbled together a throttle cable using bits from a couple of kits and
machined some parts. John S has been after me to submit an article for his
site. Guess I have a winter project too. I'll try to get to it over our
thanksgiving weekend in the US.

About 4 years ago I contemplated the big job of re-building my throttle =

about $14 cdn the can, sprayed the whole linkage and have not had a =
problem to date. Might be worth considering.
