Stuck throttle on a rental sled near Duluth taught me a cheap fix

Last winter I rented a sled and the thumb throttle kept sticking when it got cold. I tried WD-40 and it made it worse, but a buddy said to hit the cable with silicone spray and a hair dryer. That cleared it in 10 minutes, has anyone else had that issue with rental machines up north?

Sounds like a 10 minute fix for a problem that maybe wasnt even that big. Cold weather does weird stuff to cables but a hair dryer is pretty much temporary. Renting a sled that needs that much babysitting would make me wonder about the whole machine lol.
