You should be able to lubricate that bearing back to life. Pete is correct, it is an oilite bearing emulsified by the MFR. ......best to leave a small puddle of oil on the bearing surface, and allow it to soak in....if you can remove the motor, and stand it up on each end, gravity will do the work.....also, when you put a drop of oil on the shaft, if there’s any play in the lateral movement, go ahead and lightly rock it back and forth to work the oil in....use your favorite oil, this ain’t a science project....do the front and back since you’ll have it apart....flywheel is held in place with a set screw. Slight wiggling will walk it off once screw is loose....one trick I do for stubborn offenders, after oiling and allowing it to wick in, wipe a tiny bit of grease on the bearing surface...just a tiny smear, will help trap the oil in the bearing.......hope that helps......Pat
