what next- another weird problem?
my grease gun (a big lever operated one) does not this year want to suck the grease into the pump piston. seems the grease is too thick or too viscous or maybe too dry, . kept in grage been 55 degrees at night, not used in a year.
its almost like the grease has semi solidifies.
Its evinrude johnson tripple guard grease stuff that the yamaha dealer uses on motors and on trailer wheel bearings (they were a johnson dealer since the 50s) and they use only this grease, which is a little sttiff I agree but not like this .
does grease dry out? I was sick a while back maybe grease is older than I think.
I may let the gun lay in the sun tomorrow to see if it "melts" just a little. Failing that- what- replace the "slide in cartridge?) that goes in the gun. or try to switch to a softer grease. First time this problem in 10 years
