What I have done: Checked the bracket attached to the differential to be
sure it is not frozen, shot some grease in the nipple on the cable (Grease
oozed out not an inch from the fitting. All other parts of the system are
free and moving as they should.
What I think: The cable is dry in the sleeve and is binding.
Short of taking everything apart (I really dislike removing the seats) any
suggestions. >>

Nope. The handle on my Midget was very tight. I removed the seats to
replace the carpet and took out the handbrake lever to replace the cable.
The cable was fine. The lever just was very stiff. Cleaned it up, lubed it
liberally, now it's fine.
