If you are pressurizing from the crankcase it can make it to the tank and the fuel supply. The grease congeals just like snot (sorry but that was the best description available this AM) when mixed with methanol. Also it has reached the metering slot in the carb. more than once for me.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>

My experience with grease in the bearing includes fouled glow plugs in the very first run. That was many years ago and during the first round of a contest<BR>
