To answer one of your questions; it looks like your choke and throttle cables ( just to be clear, not your foot feeder linkage) are the same as my 56. Mine were also pretty stiff from lack of use so I removed the entire cable from the dash, and liberally oiled the outside of the sheath and just twisted the cable around to work the oil to the inside. Once I was happy with how it moved, I wiped down the sheath with a rag to get rid of as much of the excess oil as I could and reinstalled. Dads50 is right in that you don’t want it too loose, but I did not have have any problems with that myself; maybe with all the bends in it, it keeps enough tension on the wire. This also works for the cowl vent cables if you have those.
If I may ask a question on the same subject, how does the throttle cable hook up to the lnkage at the carb without interfering with the normal foot feeder operation? Mine may be missing a part, and I cannot find any good diagrams/pictures on how the two connect.
Thanks, Lee.
