I pulled this mower out after about two years of sitting and the cord is doing this caper again. This is the problem it had when I found the mower dumped. I pulled off the starter and moved it in and out a few times and it freed up and worked ok again.
I think this time I want to apply some sort of lube to the inner workings so I don't have this happening again after storage.
I have silicone spray, wd40, general purpose oil (3in1 -like Singer oil), a couple of other spray lubes and kerosene. I also have graphite powder dry lube. What passages should I apply it through if at all? Mower its a good goer otherwise.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
