I never thought to lubricate, but I looked at a new DZ1000 and I see some lube on the flat surface that the throw lever rides against. What oil do you use MikeCT? Excelle/Labelle? And what do you lubricate? You would need to remove the machine to lube that flat surface. Or do you just put a few drops in the semi-circle opening where the operating pin lives?
I like the idea of graphite Hokie71. It was the unfair advantage that won quite a few pinewood derby races. Not sure if I like the idea of adding it to the existing lube though. Do you just add it or do you wipe of the existing lube first?
