Default RE: GS11X Kyosho engine, leaking fuel

I recently restored two sandmaster buggies which both came with gt12 engines,

these engines are no longer available to buy new, same as your gs11,

while rebuilding one of my engines i saw that the chrome lining was almost completly worn off,

this caused the engine to be low on compression and to stall while it warmed up,

i looked up ebay and was able to buy a new piston and liner for £12,

as for the new gasket for the back plate,
i would just do away with the old paper gasket and replace it with some silicone instant gasket,

perhaps you could email this seller about this engine,

if the piston and liner are in good condition they may be of some use to you,
