Sold / Found used crankshaft

[Macguyver]

hey guys ...I'm looking for a used/cheap crankshaft for my wasp .26 ...i broke the tip off it ..the engine still runs great and it would be a shame to let it rest in pieces ...lol... have a picco max.26 i can use for now...but i still want to run the wasp till it dies ...i only paid 40$ for that engine so i dont want to spend 50$ on a shaft ..thats why I'm asking for a used one ..

its the same as the picco p3 part no. is p3169...i dont know if there are other picco shafts that would work ...maybe the pros out there can help a bit

All you need is one of these, it's your cheapest option.

thanks ..i never thought about that option ..... ...but i dont think the one you posted will fit ...specs seem a bit small ...but ill look around for other sizes

Sorry about that, they used to have the correct size with a screw on washer but that one is 1mm smaller in diameter. You could always change bearing size and use it if all else fails. Good luck with the search.

Macgyver could fix that with some duct tape and chicken wire and get another couple hundred rpm’s out of it
