John,

When I was building hot rod Harleys in Hong Kong I couldn't get the pressurized cans of CRC cable lube so I mixed graphite grease
with acetone making a mix that was thin enough to run down in between the cable and housing. I'd disconnect the clutch or throttle
cables at the handlebar end and raise them. I used a small squeeze bottle to apply the mix to the exposed cable and watch the other
end. When the mix appeared at the other end I'd stop squeezing the mix on the exposed end. When the acetone evaporated the cable OD
and housing ID was coated with graphite.

Regards,
Rob M.

Open drivers hood and spray CRC chain and cable lube in under cable boot. Use the straw that comes with the can and work it in under
the boot end by slightly pinching. Get it at least half way and connect can and spray liberally. This way gravity is your friend
and the jacket acts like a conduit. This is smelly stuff with graphite that will stain clothes and hands----so you know it's good.
Fixed it and for good here.
