    LRP 28S3 engine bearings...

    Yeah, I was thinking something similar. So, when I ran it, I ran in a dustY environment to try and make it easier to see a leak somewhere. I'm probably going to pull the lrp off my buggy and swap it with the one in my savage just to be able to hopefully run the thing. When I do that, I'll go...

    LRP 28S3 engine bearings...

    I know this is an old thread, but it's mine and I'm still fighting with this engine. If I had remembered this thread, I probably would have just removed the engine and got a new one, considering it's been 6 years and the engine is still flaky. Guess I have a hard time giving up on an LRP...

    LRP 28S3 engine bearings...

    I had started another thread asking if anyone knows of drop in carbs that work for the LRP28S3. As that is my guess as well. Since no one posts dimensions of things online (except for a few here and there), I'll wait until someone hopefully responds. In the meantime, I tore it down again...

I know there are no air leaks and it seems relatively responsive to tune, but it seems that I have to run it at least 1.5-2 turns rich beyond factory to get it to run anywhere near right. Even then I get the indicative high idle after a high speed pass and...

    LRP 28S3 engine bearings...

    Well, got the new boca ceramics installed... still hear air coming out of the front pretty bad... Guessing that's normal. However, when I tore the engine apart, I noticed that all 4 backplate screws weren't even finger tight. I didn't see any signs of liquid leaking out, but when looking at the...

    LRP 28S3 engine bearings...

    Well, the LRP28S3 in my savage just is not running right. I sealed it up when I installed it prior to break-in maybe 3 gallons ago. With the GP out, you can still feel mechanical pinch at the top and compression is top notch. It's sat on the shelf for a few months (before which, I ran it dry and...
