The throttle on my 78 American Skier is sticking in the throttle quadrant. Spraying with various lubricants or applying oil around the clutch knob helps for about a day, then it sticks again. Is there some special lube for these units. Anyone know of a good replacement throttle assembly for the American Skier? This is the same assembly I had on my 73 Nautique.

Which is sticking, the throttle or the gear knob?

Both the throttle and the knob are sticking. The knob sticks in and the throttle has a lot of friction. After spraying oil or spray grease, they both free up for about a day, then start sticking again. I'm baffled.

Check your cables, disconnect them and see if there is a lot of resistance on the throttle. If one gets bent too sharp,it will cause a kink which causes a lot of resistance and needs to be replaced.
