grease planetair gearbox starter

[RoGo60]

Hello, what kind of grease is used in the starter planetair gearbox of a 750SF? Can EP2 grease be used?

 

[Paul Marx]

I've always used run of the mill grease in my much used 750s.

As long as one of the planetary gears isn't Uranus...

 

[steph]

Regular rust-inhibited nonreactive perfluorinated polymer grease for spacecraft engines works fine too

OK guys it's clear , thanks I've got it, just looked in my shed.

 

[CLEMTOG]

NO, NO, NO, DONT USE CLEAR
use green, cream, or  brown , not red as that's for rubber, and  not white as that is for brakes.

I had a tin of red Castrol grease that I inherited from my father. It had been in his shed since I was a kid. I only used the last of it a couple of years ago when I rebuilt my bike trailer with new suspension and wheel bearings. That grease must have been at least 60 years old. I wonder what I did with the Castrol tin. It might be worth something to a collector but I probably chucked it out  :

I have no doubt your are right.  I sold a quart of BSA oil for a cool $100 US some years back.

I use a Castrol Moly Lube. Not subject to drying out under cold temps or flinging. - Castrol has a good product in this. I hate Casrtol Products especially for their engine oil but this lube is not bad for the purpose.
