Default Weed trimmer rattles


Little Homelite Bandit, in service maybe 10-12 years. Flex-cable takes
about 70 degree curve between motor and cutting head.

It rattles when running. Could be in the tiny 2-stroke motor, but I
suspect something in the drive.

How do ya lube the flex-cable? I surveyed the manual, couldn't find
anything. Looking at it, all I could figger was to drain the gas,
turn upside-down, pull the cutting head, and drip oil down the shaft.

Thx,
Peetie
