Hello,
I'm posting this here, because I can't think where else to post it, to be quite honest.
I've just come from under my 110, where I'd intended to grease the propshafts and whatever else presented an accessible grease nipple. I had to give up, though, as my grease gun wouldn't pressurise.
After a few attempts at loading and reloading the cartridge, I discovered that the plunger was stuck at the bottom of the gun and wasn't going up inside the cartridge. So, all enthusiastic like, I took the grease gun apart to see why this was/wasn't happening. Unfortunately, I didn't realise I was unscrewing the handle and when the piston released from it, it was fired into the back of my container/shed, never to be seen again.
Anyway, I still had enough of the grease gun to try fitting the piston inside the cartridge and it doesn't bl**dy fit! The plunger is the same diameter as the cartridge outer, so it's never going to fit! Have I just got a cheap grease gun with the wrong size plunger inside it or am I doing something incredibly stupid here?
Any advice, rolling eyes, shaking heads, stroking of beards gratefully received,
Thanks
