Losi XXXNT-RTR .15 sitting for years
Hey guys,
Got a old Losi nitro truck I want to get going again after sitting for 7 years. I have some parts on their way, glow plug and air filter are being replaced right out of the gate along with all batteries, Ya know the basics. Motor pulls over kinda hard, would shooting some WD-40 in there and letting it soak be the right thing to do? What kind of attention should the carb get? A little snort of carb and choke clean maybe or just more WD? Also if kept sealed how long is fuel good for? Got damn near a full gallon still. Hoping to get it going for this weekend, any help would be great!
Thanks and regards

Got it running last night, popped the head and exhaust off, ran several motors full of alcohol, WD40 and fuel though it, let it sit and dry then used a hair dryer to try and dry it all out. It started on the second pull ran strong. Throttle Servo wasn't working so I couldn't drive it. Played with the tuning a bit, seemed to be running rich, had more smoke than I recall it having and some fluid coming out the exhaust. I'm running a 20% nitro 10% lubricant mix fuel. Don't want to lean it out too much and burn it up but don't want to foul out plugs neither. What's a good tune on these Mach .15 for 50-60 degree weather or at least a good starting point to fine tune from there?
