Default Snowblower...?


Hi...

Having read the lawn mower story I'm brave enough to go
far enough off topic to ask a snowblower one...

Got an on-going problem with the control cables... I think
they're called bowen or bowden cables ? The same things that
you find in lawnmowers for the throttle control, on a
snowblower.

Here (Winnipeg) it gets cold. I mean COLD. And I go through
a couple of them each winter. What happens is that I blow
lots of snow for a while... then throttle back to take a
bit of a break. Meanwhile, the blown snow "mist" has worked
it's way into that cable, now freezes, and when I go to
move it it's seized up and damages.

Finally to my question. Anyone any idea at all of what I
could inject into that cable to prevent this problem?

Thanks in advance for any tips, and take care.

Ken
