Default Street Force GP Engine

I just acquired a used street force gp from a trade on here and Im wanting to put a new engine in it. The original velocity 15 seems to have good compression but it needs a one way bearing and recoil and the input shaft doesnt seem to catch on the crank very well. Im thinking maybe an OS 15CVX or a 12 size engine if I can find one with rotary carb and pullstart. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Yeahh. Dont even attempt to start replacing parts. Please if you have the money go fund a new motor. The O.S. CV-R 18 is pretty good considering would go as a drop in replacement.

Would I be able to bump start it or would I need the pullstart version? Thanks

Just get the Pull start version. Its by far more convienent. No walking around with a big starter box.

Ive had an OS 18CVRX and the one way slipped pretty often. Ive got an airplane starter and thought of using a rubber wheel on it to use as a bump start to avoid the hassle. like this- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXL402&P=7 but who knows.. maybe ill just go with a pull start.
