I had a brainstorm this morning while touching up my chloroplast sealing.
Does anyone know the size and thread pitch on the termination hardware and dia of the cable? Its not in the parts lookup. I am thinking I can cobble together a screw on fitting (after handle removal) that might seal well enough to use spray lube down the cable housing. I am assuming the handle is easy to remove with the screw in it. All three dump valves have this arrangement and from what I can see the cable housing if fairly tight in the backside of the assembly.
I was somewhat successful using rubberized tape around the WD40 straw, but still had a mess.
Thoughts?
On edit - the first post in this thread sounds interesting https://www.crossroadsowners.com/for...lube-6527.html
He used 1/2 in plastic tubing twisted on the threads then poured penetrating oil in it (I assumed he held it up) and waited. Might give it a try first.
What oil would folks us for this?
