Default How do I safely get a .21 running again that never had After-run ran through it about a year ago?

Hey guys,

I have a Hyper .21 that has been sitting for a year after I wrecked my inferno pretty badly. I am ready to install the engine again, but I never ran afterrun through it after the wreck. Of course now when I turn the engine over by hand, it feels like it is turning through syrup!

What is the safest way to get this engine going again?

Thanks!

take off the backplate and soak it in a little nitro to clean it out

take the engine apart and clean it all up, then put it back together and it should start right up

Remember to get fresh fuel and fuel lines too.
