Throttle cables

well i got mine from welly harley, ..$25 ..
so as these cable things seem to rely on pressurized cans of something to work, i think, what should I spray in there?

OK guys i have run into one little slight problem. After realizing its not just a wip off the tank and swap shit over. The problem i have is i have 1 spring left over its roughly 10mm round and 15-20mm long .
After i pulled off the carb where the throttle cables sit in between i found the spring lying right next to the knob where you adjust idle.
Now i have looked everywhere but cant seem to see where it may have come from possibly something to do with the choke bar that runs across the top of the carbs?
its a bit of a mystery as i cannot see what use it would have i have replaced the cables and everything seems to be working properly on further inspection of the cables that were on the bike the one that was crimped was actually frayed inside aswell so lucky i guess that im replacing it.
Im hoping somebody out there can help as im still having a problem tracking down a manual for the bike.

On a side note is it usual to have wat looks like a thin film of oil sporadically around the air filter casing on the inside? and also around where the intake goes onto the carbs on what i will call cylinders 3-4 on the gear shifter side of the bike?

Thanks guys

alright found where the spring goes between the carb and the throttle pully so thats all good but on the downside i have fucked the aluminium fuel pipe between the carbs with the o-rings on each end anybody know of a place in wellington that might have these on the shelf or will it be more of an order it in type deal?

From your Honda dealer. But TBH it would be faster to go to Engineer Plastics and get some o-rings, and then get anyone you know with a lathe to make another pipe. That you could do in a day, Honda, they'd take a month and want a million dollars. Assuming they sold them separately, or at all.

you seem to be right dont know if they sell them at all still waiting to hear back and will be at least 10-14 days so anybody know anybody who coud help out in the wellington area. This bites 2 weeks and no riding makes me think i should have 2 bikes so i can work on one play on the other.
