This is probably on here somewhere, but what type of grease is best for the grease cups of my Dispro engine? |

Ernie's suggestion is good if you have the grease cups directly mounted close t the bearings.
But if you have the grease cups out on a dashboard of a boat, connected with 15 - 18 in of 1/4 in copper tubing, then you'd be wise to get thinner grease.
The thick stuff just doesn't move no matter how much you turn the cup.

The grease cups are about 6" off the bearings, and connected by 1/4" copper pipe, so thick is still ok? |

Modern wheel bearing grease isn't thick.
Don't use the old stuff that is the consistancy of cold butter. As Miro says it can plug up passages
Yes you can use modern wheel bearing grease with no problems
Hope this helps
