RE: Quieting a squeaking dropaway
I had to tear apart and lubricate my TT shaky hunter. it was making the same noise and would do so by mearly lifting the forks with my finger. I took it apart and used vasoline as my lubricant on the interior spring/shaft area.
I used vasoline as it was the only greasy type substance I could find with no detectable odor.
This cured my squeky launcher issue.
