I need to grease plunger on on starter solenoid. Anyone know of a good high temp grease to use? Maybe a lithium? Thanks!

 

Just my opinion but I would not use anything. The service manual calls for Lubriplate 110 However when you Google 110 makes you wonder what they were thinking.(The LUBRIPLATE "100" Series Products are excellent water-resistant lubricants designed for plain bearings, cams, slides and similar applications up to operating temperatures of 150°F. LUBRIPLATE No. 110 is recognized as an outstanding brake lubricant.) From what I have seen this part is not going to wear out moving in and out before something else goes (ie contacts) and when it gets cooking hot the grease tends to dry out, attract dirt and crud and stick the plunger.

 

Moving parts need grease. I doubt a cheap as harley is they would use if they didn't have too.

Always some grease you don't have. 5 gallon pail, is a bit much.

 

there is always a graphite or other dry film lubricant

 

Ahh, I don;t think that is what is used in starters. Heavy grease, that is not reapplied.

 

Brake grease is a high temperature grease.

 

That is what I am seeing used by some, and marine trailer grease.
