It's not letting me insert the attachments for some reason, so I'll link to them here: [ [url=http://digitalperfection.com/engine/IMG_6729.jpeg]photo #1 | photo #2 ]. I have an old .09 Sirio engine that I had in my 1/12 Kyosho Spada 09. I probably ran it 5-6 times.. all told it can't have more than 2 hours of runtime on it, but it's been sitting idle for several years now. I'm finally getting around to restoring the Spada, but parts have become incredibly scarce, and like everything else, what is out there is ridiculously overpriced. I have seen a few .12 versions of this engine out there, so that would probably be the choice if I were to have to replace it... but my question is ... What would be the first few steps y'all would recommend to get this thing running again? I'm definitely a rookie still when it comes to nitro engine maintenance... so I need to proceed carefully. Any advice appreciated!
