    Best lubricant for carb linkage and throttle linkage

    Hello fellas
    What is the best lubricant for carburetor or throttle linkage? I looked on the net and people use all kinds of things. I heard that petroleum based products are no good because they may deterioratate any plastic parts

    Thanks

    I have never considered using anything to lube the linkage.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Neither have I.  If I were to lubricate these parts I'd likely use the spray "white" lubricant.
