Although I don't have the years of experience that Jeremy, Junior or Dodge have, my best luck has been with felt wipers and juice from the can. I HAVE used paper towel, scotchbrite or felt with an alligator clip but they seem to let the nasties on the roller and on into the liner. Pulling the liner and giving a bath with some brake parts cleaner will do wonders . Liner housing is sorta like bicycle or choke cable housing ( of some types ). Look at the gun end of the lead and you will see what is making it through from the rollers. There IS a difference in wire. Thanks to Junior I now use Hobart wire exclusively. Merry Christmas folks. The light bulb trick might be just the ticket Jeremy, thanks.
