Honda UMK425 brushcutter advice...

[Duncan R]

Hi Guys,

 

I lost the grease cap/screw/bolt whatever on my brush cutter and need it tomorrow for 3 ish hours work......will it be ok to run without this little bleeder in place?

 

Blob of silicone do for now or am I worrying for nowt? no-one seems to hold stock and it's a weird size so have nothing here to use as a stop gap.

Would seem like a bad idea! Any bits of dirt etc mixing with the grease would turn it in to a grinding paste

I only noticed earlier while clearing the head of tangled bramble that a small stick had worked it's way in there so what you're suggesting makes sense, i'll try and temporarily plug it in some way then....
