Something Slick for all the Mechanics

[backyardtrouble]

I thought i would share this little tip i was taught years ago by an older mechanic.
I use this on my carb elbows when i'm reinstalling them, on hose fitting, or anything else that needs a little push or fits really tight.....it's really slick, not greasy, cleans up easy with water or a wet rag, and you only have to use a small amout. K_Y JELLY

That stuff is kinda expensive to use as a lube... :whistling: I'm just sayin.

~O~

expensive...don't buy 5 gallons of it.. :smilie_happy: ..it goes a long ways.....

Probably can use any water based lubricant of this sort. That was a good tip.

I've always used petroleum jelly aka vaseline. It has other uses too like softening seals and vinyl.

Another good option silicone (gel or spray).
Usually is already around the workshop relatively cheap. Don't "stick" or get sticky.
Most important dust/dirt don't stick to it. :Egyptian:
