I am just about finished with my build of a new CRT and am using an OS30 with a pull start. I had to shim the stock motor mount to allow for the pull start to fit. Hope to run it this weekend.

how thick is the shim you used? i have some 2mm aluminum sheets. im planing to just cut two small plates and put it on top of the stock mount, you think thats enough?

I will measure one of the washers I used, but I'm sure they are not even that thick. Probably more like 1mm. It is very close to fitting without shimming.

I was in the same situation, I dont currently own a starter box and will convert at a later date. It is my understanding that the back plate is only a few dollars but there is some modifications needed to the crankshaft.

the best way to grind that would be to put the shaft into a ziplock bag poke the part that needs the grinding and grind away that way no grinding fileings make it onto the shaft and inside the shaft and keeps it smooth as a baby's but!!

Miswa,
