[Spridgets] Throttle cable clean & lube suggestions?

[Linda Grunthaner]

Hi Larry, Billy and List,
I was looking at batteries online at work yesterday and wow lots to choose
from but I would rather a smaller size so I don't have to pull the hood off
that would be ideal. I looked at the 51 size and I need to know the
recommended cca cold cranking amps the group suggests for my 1275 engine. I
haven't decided if I should spent $150 on Optima or Interstate or go cheap
and small and just replace more often as I barely use my LBC. Any
suggestions?
Lin

62 Sprite 1275 engine NJ cold in winter and not garaged but covered (I
disconnect in winter) Yes I'll get new battery cables too.
