Hello all - Happy Canada Day or July 4th weekend for those of you south of the border ;)

Resurrecting this thread a bit since I couldn't find another that came close. I have recently retrieved my '77 403 from WA state and now that the
dust has settled at work, I am getting the not functioning bits going. The Onan will turn over from the remote switch, but not catch. I would love
to be able to work on the problem with my neighbour, but can't get the tray to budge in order to check anything out - possible that is why the PO
wasn't able to get it running when it quit. How much "OO-OMPH" is required to move it before we bust it? I am thinking better to try some lube in
the tracks before I go too far. FYI, The 2 front latches are opening & closing properly, but the release lever on the top right does not close all
the way so I suspect it may have been that way for a while and it may have shifted out of line just a wee.

Suggestions? Best type of lube to try that won't cause any damage? (or blow up in my face!) :)
