I need a kickstart shaft for a GP200 Engine Im rebuilding.
Given that Ive already got a few LI Kickstart Shafts, will they fit and work in a GP motor, do I need to change any parts...like the plunger or anything.
Thanks ;)

Li shafts are allegedly weaker than the gP ones . id fit a gp shaft if you have the choice

The Li shaft should fit although you might need to shim out a bit on the outside (MB make various size shims for this - we stock them in USA). Its going the other way that needs modification (Li using GP shaft). They are weaker though!
