tried that, the gas needle dropped faster then i could keep it up

start by lubing everything...cable, all pivot points.  If it is still too stiff, you could put a softer spring on it.

ill do that tomorrow, seeing asits dark out now and my dashboard reads 45 degrees outside...kinda chilly

for the spring i guess i could go to pick and pull and snag one...for the cable lube just spray some WD40 on it or what?...ive never done that before so idk

I usually use silicone spray

[Duffil]

yeah, silicone is great, it doesn't really attract dirt, and it stays slippery.
