    Default FX3 Mixture cable

    Does anyone have suggestions for mixture cable lubrication on FX-3? Mine seems to be getting stiffer (120 hours) and very difficult to pull, especially when cold.
    Thanks,

    Confirm it is the mixture and not something binding at the engine. I cant see the mixture cable binding up with so few hours.

    Thanks,

    All I can suggest is DO NOT use LPS-2. It was applied to the mixture and throttle cables of my PA28 and the controls became almost impossible to move on cold winter mornings. Eventually flushed some of it out with multiple small applications of kerosene.
