I did both.  (oil and stronger springs)  Mine really did not need the springs.

Did you cut the cable to length?  I cut mine and reassembled the ends.

  Subject: Europa-List: Throttle Cables.


      

  Having just fitted two new (massively expensive) throttle cables to  cure the
  apparent problem of 'stiction', I find that nothing has changed, 

  Despite being meticulously careful in the fitting (no kinks etc) and 
  following the build manual instructions, I cannot find a way to get the  
throttle
  cables to operate properly i.e. the throttle will not open when  the lever is
  moved forward as the throttle lever spring does not overcome  the friction
  between inner and outer.

  Any suggestions for a solution (stronger springs, oil??) would be  welcomed.
