I finally got a chance to try out my new Vision Line Niagara (6-84960) and noticed an issue. As the engine was running in forward, there was an odd clicking/grinding noise (if, like me, you are of a certain age and remember using a clothespin to attach a baseball card near the spokes of the wheels so it made a motor-like sound, that is exactly what it sounds like!!!). The sound did not seem as prevalent in reverse.
In testament to the fact that I spend way too much time on this forum, this techno-peasant decided to open up the gear cover and this is what I found:
So... my question is should I add some grease to the gear, and if so, a couple of sub-questions:
- Do you think this could be responsible for the noise I am hearing
- How much grease should I use
- Where should I apply the grease
Thanks.
