You could get a little rubber stopper to put in it to keep the moisture/dirt out of it. Others might have different advice for you here.....but what I told you has worked for me for the past 10+ years.

That's why I love this site, I never knew that!

Edit: So I'm guessing this applies to all starter/generators? I've got a 129 with a 14hp Kohler transplant and the starter turns kinda slow, I've never lubed it so I figure it might be worth a shot? :-/
