    having zerks doesn't affect swim, If they are greased the water wont penatrate, If they are dry you may get some water, BUT, you should be greasing until there is no water after submersion any way.

    A little assistance please?

    THREE, use a 3 or 4 inch extension and a socket Some will tell you its tough, piece of cake beats a F4 Phantom Fuel Control. IF the starter solenoid is bad just change it, SYMPTOM is you push the button and you get no engagement , Usually about 30 bucks from Eguipment Sales on Flea bay, STARTER...

    Do I need a permit to drive my M923 home?
