Compensator Motor lubrication
Posted by Bob E. On 2021/2/7 23:31:02
Hi Gang,
I'm in the process of rebuilding and cleaning up the T-L system in my '55. This includes cleaning up and regreasing the compensator & motor. I took the motor off and apart and was wondering about whether to use oil or grease for the oiling wick at the base of the motor. With a wick, I would normally assume an oil, but it looks like there was grease in there so asking here. The lube charts in the manual don't address this point. I'm using the StaLube SL 3303 for the Compensator gearbox and can use that for the motor shaft wick, too. But worried it may be a tad too thick to migrate down the wick to the armature shaft in the bushing.
thanks,
Bob
