Throttle cable link lube?

[Sniperdyer]

Throttle cable seems to be sticking. . Not throttle body. I cleaned the throttle body and it's fine. Seems my linkage cable is stiff. What can I use to lube this or can I use throttle body cleaner in this link as well?

Something like this can be used to lubricate the cable:

Amazon product ASIN B003542HE0
However the cable may be going bad internally.

Would wd40 work

Would wd40 work

It would help, but wouldn't last as long as cable lube.

I have tri flow at home. Would this work

Ok. Just as a temp use. But would the tri flow work? It's for bicycle chains and cables. If I replace the cable, is it just the cable itself or the cable and cable housing also?

They were sold as a unit, cable and housing together. Any brand of cable lube will work.
