:smile: I use a product called Slip Plate, it is a dry graphite and does not attracted the many earthly elements that grease/oil base lubricants do. Don B.

I find in real cold weather grease on the starter shaft will only worsen your problim. Try to stay with more of a dry type of lubrication. Your starter bendix should have a bronze type bushing which is self lubricating. If you are having problems I would say your starter shaft is dirty or rusty or the bendix bushing is worn. Get youself a good rebuilt starter and fix it right and be done with it or next winter you will have the same problims.
