    I remembered I had a syringe with a built-in plastic "needle" that I intended to use for our radio control nitro engines as a fuel primer, and came across it by accident today! It will work fine for squirting the cable. No squirt gun needed now.

    Take an air hose and blow out the line. Use a syringe and fill it with Antifreeze. I live in Northern Minnesota and did this last year after multiple freeze ups of my throttle cable. After that it didn't happen ever again.

    Thanks for the advice, I do appreciate it.
    We decided to store our Max for the winter, rather than use it. Thanks for the help everyone.
