Can a crankshaft from GP engine fit in a Jet or any other series 3 engine casing without any modification and vice versa? I am attempting to build a Li125 engine and have a spare GP crank so I do not want to fork out if I don't have too!

Yes you can as long as its a std. gp crank (ie 58mm stroke and 107mm con rod) it will be fine in a li 125 engine. You will need a different bearing in the mag housing NU2205 and a GP flywheel for a gp crank.

will fit but you will need to have the correct flywheel for the crank. Flywheel side bearing is specific as well (GP vs LI).

The other anomaly is when a TV175 is brought into the equation as their cranks had longer rods fitted

true but its the gp type fly wheel that is the only issue and tbh a gp crank is a worth while modification anyway especially if kitting the scoot at a later date
