Here's a great video explaining how to deal with the trans bushing problem
on the chinese belt drives that come with the 4-strokes. Apparently, the
oilite bushing is made from a porous bronze that has to be lubricated
periodically, otherwise it will grab. At least, this gives some solution
for maintaining function of the trans designed with oilite bushings.
This kind of technology is new to me but good to know.
I've read that grease may not be the best lubricant for oilite bearings. A
light oil like 5-30w or 20w may be best to soak into the pours
in several hours or so.
