I have an 84 that has this issue. I think that the tracks that the motor turns is supposed to have a dry lubricant in there, by you putting grease, it may cause more problems. I think that it will REALLY be a problem if you live in a place with 4 seasons. I have never tried this myself, so be cautious. There is a solvent called gun scrubber, which should be able to clean all the grease out of the tracks. I would also suggest removal of this hardware so when you spray, you don't have a rush of greasy juice run all over the place. Once fully cleaned, get some dry lube - try some of the new dry synthetic lubricants that they use on the expensive bicycle chains, or possibly a graphite product. You also may just have a tired motor, but it's probably a friction issue.
