I was running the 2.5r without an air filter, it was easier to get it started if I squirted some fuel right in the carb, as soon as I made one run across the parking lot it started raining and I kept driving for a few minutes. I put it away without anything, I never used after run oil. Next time I went to start it, it wouldn't even turn over. It was a pain to get it all apart but I eventually got the piston and sleeve seperated. I used a little torch lighter to heat up the sleeve, put a screw driver between the case and sleeve, and kept trying to turn it over. I also kept spraying wd-40 in there, eventually I broke the bond and got the whole motor apart. I used nothing but an old sock to polish the sleeve back up untill the piston wouldn't stick, then I put it all back together. Never had another problem. The 3.3 stopped at TDC once and wouldn't turn over again, did the same thing with it and it ran fine. Nitro is a PITA but when they are running right they can be fun, but that rarely happens. Weather changes so much here I could never get a decent tune on them.
