<DIV>Are you sure that wasn't bicycle chain lubricant?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The chain oil I use in my chainsaw is a lot like motor oil (in fact, it is
motor oil) and it goes into a reservoir, not a spray-on.</DIV>

thing I've never done, and frankly don't know how to do, is clean and
lubricate the suspension springs. What do you do? Just wire
brush them and squirt from an oil can around them?</BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If there is a neat & tidy way to do this - I have never found
it. I keep an old paint brush to spread oil all over them and then let
them drip for 3 or 4 days.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If it has been a long while but you're not going to take them apart --
you might start with a dosing of PBlaster and let that soak a few days before
going with the heavier oil.</DIV>
