Subject:Sticky Accelerator Cable
From:Gavin Flanagan

Hey Volks,

A while back, in the midst of another unrelated repair, my local mechanic
diagnosed and repaired a sticky accelerator cable. It made a tremendous
difference to have a smooth, rapid response. It was one of those things that
creeps up over time and I failed to notice the change.

Well, given the fact that I live across the street from the Pacific Ocean
and it's corrosive air (don't ask about the rust issue or I'll start to
weep) it seems like it's happened again.

Any advice on how to grease the accelerator cable?

Thanks in advance. This list is the best!
