    Does anyone know what lube is proper for the rotor bearings on the starter? They appear to be bronze and the manual says nothing about it. It specifies moly grease on the gears and lithium grease on the seals. I'm thinking it's probably not a self lubricating bearing but I could be wrong...

    Nothing. The bearings are made of oilite, and therefore permanantly lubricated.

    Fair enough. Wasn't sure if they were plain bronze or oilite. Thanks.
