[Healeys] Throttle linkage lubrication

[alfuller194 at gmail.com]

Gary – I agree with your thinking. I haven’t lubricated the throttle balls on any of my Healeys – and don’t think I have missed it.

I have only received 3 replies & all 3 recommend some form of lubrication. I am somewhat surprised. I anticipated a split (50/50) decision. Considering the dirty, dusty, gritty environment that the unsealed linkage ball & sockets operate in, I thought some would suggest the it is better to not have any lubricant that would trap & hold the abrasive particles. 

Does anyone agree with this?

A drop of oil  now and then is a good idea on any car bar when  ball sockets are nylon/plastic.

A little lube never hurts. Wheel bearing grease is the most persistent.
