Greetings to the brain trust.
I wanted to grease the front suspension on the delightful 2019 3.7 Roadster I just purchased from Morgans West. I had added about 400 miles since taking stewardship.
I purchased a Lock N Lube Pistol grip 5000, a 90 degree adaptor and Valvoline Moly Gray grease and set about it.
I did not jack the front end up this time because of space constraints due to construction at Mi Casa.
When I started pumping on the upper zirc fitting, the handle squeeze felt normal. There was a slight hissing sound. I did 6 pumps and saw nothing coming out of anywhere so I stopped and did the bottom also 6 squeezes. Still nothing expelling from any orifices. I did the other side exactly the same with the exact same result.
Is that a normal result?
Thanks!

Hi and thanks for pointing that out. I absolutely cleared the grease gun prior to starting. It took a bit to get it working but once I got it situated I verified grease pumping smoothly all the way through the hose before I started. Also you know the smooth pressure when pumping has a different feel than when you are pumping nothing.
