Not sure if this applies to your models. All my Sprite books are still
packed away, but I seem to remember a screw behind at the top (generator
side ) that you can remove to add grease. It is mentioned somewhere in
Haynes, I believe, with a warning to not overdo it???
Okay, I unpacked my books. Page 57 in the old Haynes manual, under "Water
Pump Dismantling and Replacement" The "greasing screw" is clearly visible
in 2 diagrams, but not labelled as such.
