the Hoot gearbox is similiar to the Grubee 4 stroke box and most users who are having
ok i went and got some grease, i soaked it with break cleaner to clean it up, then i loaded it with grease! i got white lithium grease, so hopefully its good, im out to ride it now,
Apparently there are two completely different Hoot boxes, one with chain and one with gears. The gear version definitely uses grease but if the chain version has a filler it probably requires oil. To add to the confusion there are Grubee with a belt. It would be nice if someone around here actually had some credible info on these.
Yes, like maybe the seller?
A couple 4 stroke kit sellers I emailed did not respond and to be honest these guys seem to know less than the customers. 4 of the kits I bought were liquidation and no instructions. 2 were surplus from Duane and I don't think he expected me to get out of the driveway with those gearboxes. He implied as much. Anyway these things were half price and worth it just for the HS.
i found that lithium grease was the best for not having the clutch slip but it broke down over time, i was curently testing heavy duty axle grease when i wrecked so once im better i will continue and see how that stuff holds up, but ive got my eyes open for a replacement gearbox, this one has held for now but i dont trust it
the EZM 'Silent Drive' is a manual (you work the clutch), it is the only manual 4cycle kit I am aware of
(it does have a pull start tho !)I was not aware of the difference between those two products in terms of features and price. It is sounding better and better though as lack of manual on the current 4-stroke kits was the major drawback IMO. Can't wait to see more reviews and info.the EZM 'Silent Drive' is a manual (you work the clutch), it is the only manual 4cycle kit I am aware of
the 'Q-Matic is an auto (centi-clutch)
linex? what am i something that goes on a truck bed??
you should also tell them how much grease you used too, thats valuable information,
