I searched and couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd ask. I took out the screw and pumped a couple pumps and the old grease starting coming out. After a couple more pumps, no grease came out. Gave it another 10 or so pumps and still nothing. I waited a couple minutes and pumped another 5 or so and nothing came out. Its not coming out any of the seals, which is a good thing, but I don't understand how it could get clogged. And yes I made sure the grease gun still had grease in it. Any thoughts?

Keep pumping till your arm hurts. It'll come out eventually:lol:

When I put grease in my Lu I remove screw and then start motor put in gear and pump grease till it comes out just remember the prop is unforgeven

I just don't get why it was coming out and then it stopped. I dont want to mess up anything else.

Mine does the same thing sometimes...just a pocket of air...as long as the screw is out it shouldnt blow a seal. Keep pumping

^^^^^ This ^^^^ Keep pumping, just an air pocket.

I've pumped about ten times with nothing coming out.

are you using a cheap grease gun? I went thru about 5 of those things till I switched to air one

Turn your prop 4 or 5 revolutions... it will free it up and start coming out.

you drink the kool aid, id rather drink the whiskey and raise hell!!!!

I keep hearing about seals, is it possible with a GT to blow the seals? I've topped mine off many times without removing the screw. My grease has never been off color.

I've put about 2 whole cans of grease in there. The old grease is coming out, just very slowly. Turning the prop helped, but it is still very slow. Guess ill get a third can...

Quit playing with that baby gun and get a fullsize one. Them lil minis hardly have any grease in those tubes.

I use a Lincoln as well, but I have battery powered instead of air. Works great IMO..

This thread made me laugh.

^^ cheap entertainment is hard to find

I'm down to my last tube of grease. I have put 5 in there. It's still barely coming out and its a dark greyish in color so I know they still have old grease in there. I never had this problem with my other motor.

I'm afraid to say that i think there is a possibility you filled up the belt housing.

You are def putting it in belt housing, that will be fun to clean.

Fuck. Is there any easy way to clean it out? And I'm going to guess no...

Guess ill be heading to gatortail tomorrow. Is this a common thing?

And this is why i purge my LU every time i use it.

I honestly don't know. I'll never have this issue because I'm a maintenance freak.

No its not common. How many hours you have on that thing? How often do you grease it?

The seals fail, some sooner than others. If you shine a flashlight down your belthousing u will see the pile of grease at the bottom i am guessing. Pull the lower unit and replace seal at a minimum, if i recall its like 15 bucks. Be sure to inspect bearing, race etc while u got it apart. Alot will say replace everything while u got the bitch apart, up to u. Belt housing not hard to clean out just messy.

I just bought it 2 fridays ago from someone. The motor has 12 hours on it.

I bet it's never been maintenanced. ... prolly original oil....what year is it?

you drink the kool aid, id rather drink the whiskey and raise hell!!!!

Must been bad seal from get go with if only 12 hrs on it

For his sake I hope 3 ounce..

12 hrs....Is that the original tach?

Everything was a 2012 on the motor, but the motor had some sort of defect and he got a new one which is why it only has 12 hours on it. The frame and the rest stayed the same. But I talked to him and he said he purged the grease every 15 hours. And no, I'm talking about 5 14oz tubes of grease. That's why I was so skeptical to keep pumping after 2. This is the first time I have purged the grease on a 35 hp, I have only done it on my 25hp, so I figured it might take more... Guess I was wrong. Its definitely in the housing because i see it on the belt because I was turning the prop to help the grease come out of the screw hole. So let's just say there isn't much friction on the belt right now.

that's almost 5 pounds of grease
