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,

Dunno what your flex shaft looks like, but flexible drive shafts in
general are comprised of an outer jacket, an inner core, and a coupling
on each end.

If there's no grease nipple, then hopefully there's a way to remove
(unscrew) the coupling from one end, extract the core, lube it with
grease, and reassemble. (Make sure the core re-engages the non-removed
coupling before reattaching the removed coupling.)
