I dont think you will find much. The only spurs I know that are a direct fit are the plastic ones and they are 1M. 47 up to 52 I believe. The savage steel spurs fit but with a modified nut. So I am not sure if you will find much in the savage section.
Why would anyone what to run a HP robbing heavy steel spur?
He wants different teeth measurements that the plastic ones cant give him..

He told me it was broken in, and when taking it apart it was definitely nice and greased up. But the reason I started taking it apart was because of that sticky feeling ... is that normal too?

And also, when I tried to start it up tonight it wasn't sucking in gas through the carb. I primed it by blowing in the exhaust tube to get the gas up to the carb, but I couldn't get it to start. I tried opening up the throttle some more, but it was like the carb didn't have much or any suction. Could this be due the the total lack of gaskets? All sucking power would be gone I assume?

If all I need to do is get a gasket set to get this baby running, that would be awesome. And thanks for letting me know about the "pinch", I am still new at this. But the engine did feel very sticky at the top, I figured it would just be smoother. So that stickiness is completely normal?
Hey, make sure your glow plug is ok. It wont suck the nitro fuel in. You have to prime it. Put your finger over the stinger of the pipe and pull the engine over. Wait till the gas goes into the carby then give it a few pulls. The engines exhaust fumes are pushed through the nipple on top of the pipe through into the fuel tank and pressurises the tank which pushes the fuel into the carby.
