I went out to drive my AC 616 last night and this morning but the throttle cable and the choke cable are frozen. Does anyone know if there is a spray that keeps the moisture out so it doesnt keep freezing? Thanks.

~30~ Years ago I made/invented a pressure device that would hose clamp around either end of a cable . I used a piece of copper pipe and brazed /soldered an air valve stem to set of m/f fittings on one end (you could fill it with oil/grease ..?)an the other had fittings to allow the cable housing to seal inside the pipe.Then to force lube into the cable air pressure it ... back then it was an air hand pump for my dirt bikes ... now I use an air compressor and for tractors & trucks
