To go bump start you'll need the back plate for an OS 18TZ.

You can buy a new crakshaft. But if you like saving money, grind off the little nub at the back of the crankshaft of your 18TM to put on the 18TZ back plate.

My brother did the grind thing with his Mach motor and it worked great. Saved some cash and time too.
