My 02 Rancher cable was freezing up on me this winter, and of course it acted up on the friday night before a big ride. I didn't have time to buy a cable (they are pretty cheap) so I pulled the cable off of the carb and sprayed ignition drier/sealer into it, letting it soak in and working the cable, then hitting it again,etc. after about ten sprays I let the cable drain and put it back on. That was about 2 months ago and it is working beautifully! I went out to the garage the other day when it was -38 degrees celcius and it still worked like it was 20 above! Just a note to say that the choke cables are cheap, but when you're in a bind, try this. By the way, I tried it with WD-40 beforehand, it didn't work. I think it's a little to thick to soak far enough into the cable.
