I just sit there with 3in 1 oil and drip it down the hole 'till it comes out the other end, or if am lazy just make a guesstimate. That way I don't remove the cable.

Hi guys-
Just replaced my rear drive seals after a massive gear oil leak. Seems that the installer (A Winchester, VA concern) sold the guy I bought my ambo from a bill of goods when they rebuilt his destroyed U-joint. The "new" gear they put in was used, and to top it off, they boogered it (scored)up when they put it in. The seal held for a while, then failed. There is a lesson here somewhere...
For a newbie-what's your favorite method for lubricating throttle cables???? My palm has calluses and I've developed a big right forearm.... I drove my friend's new Jackal lasst night and I almost did a wheelie when I accidently goosed the free-turning throttle...
Many thanks,
Noel McCormack '72 AMBO

I agree 1 Tomaselli + flip chokes = 7 less headaches

I've seen several problems with old 2 into 1 cable set ups on Loops. All cured by retro fitting twin cable Tomaselli units as fitted to 70/80's Guzzis.
Easier to set up and if either cable snaps you still get home. Prudent riders only need carry 1 spare too.

John: The normal tension of the throttle shouldn't be enough to pop that ball out continuously. As others have mentioned, it might be a
throttle
cable going bad. However before you go out and buy new cables, check
the
cable splitter attached to the frame rail under the tank. If this is gummed up it could be the source of the problem, and a good lube might be a cheap fix.
