OS O/B Lower, Grease or No Grease?
I am new to this unit and noticed that the cable grease is clogging the lines for the exhaust oiling system. Am I just using the wrong grease or will the oiling system be enough to lubricate if I stop greasing the shaft? Thanks!!!

Thanks jerry. BTW - What are you using to deliver the grease via the nipple? I tried a syringe with silicone tubing, it was not very effecient. Thanks!!!!

Grease gun needs a grease-nipple , but they are mostly huge.
Cut the K&B nipple on the spanner-hexagon , and silversolder the ball of a ball-link to it.
You can drill the ball the same diameter as the nipple size.
