Anyone know if I can find a start shaft for an lrp .30? They are discontinued but is there another one that would fit through the backplate? Any help would be appreciated

I’m running sh pull start parts on mine as well. Works great!nice?? Ive ran across some people on YouTube who have the parts but nowhere I could just order any.
I should be testing out the sh parts this weekend. Finally got everything I need to get started on break in.

I have a 3 needle carb on the motor instead of the factory carb. Sealed everything up of course and it runs great! I’ve come to find out over all my years of running nitro that all manufacturers have their lemons. I’m a die hard o.s guy and I’ve had a few that would never ever run right. Lately I had a .30vg that would only run when it was so lean it was on the verge of melting the sleeve and would boil the fuel. No matter what I did it wouldn’t change. Ditched it and picked up another and it’s been a fantastic engineI fought with my LRP30S2 today for about 2 hours. I started with the needles where factory says... which was so lean, it wouldn't even fire up. 2.75 turns out from bottom on both needles I think. Then when I got it to the point that it would run relatively clean and sit and idle for 20-30 seconds without stalling, if it died, I'd have to crank and crank and crank to get it going. I no longer have skin between my fingers. I'll have to check, but it's likely more than 3.5 turns out on both now.
No clue what the deal is with it... was a very frustrating day.
Yeah, this is my replacement for an LRP28S3 I had in it that I couldn't get a mid-range burble tuned out of. This thing is either lean bog or stalling rich. Spent 2.5 hours and 1000cc's of fuel trying to get it running well. When I did have it running "ok" (still had high idle that wouldn't drop), when it stalled, it wouldn't start unless I richened up the LSN considerably. But then it wouldn't idle, it would just die. If I increased the idle, it would high idle insufferably after a WOT run, even though the HSN was so rich that it couldn't hardly clear it's through enough to shift.I have a 3 needle carb on the motor instead of the factory carb.
