The oil wick is missing in the starter for my 38. Can I just pack some felt down the little tube? Or is there an illustration for this item on a starter diagram? Thanks in advance.

There were two different versions of starter end plates used. One was just the casting with a machined hole and oil wick the other had an actual bushing. On either type you need to check for play, especially if you have the non-bushing one. Any felt, oil wick material that will absorb and hold oil will work. If you cant find something let me know. I keep it in stock.
Thanks
Ken
