Default RE: ASP 108 gonna be the death of me

Did the engine used to run fine, and now it's dogging you? If it's never run well, or you bought it secondhand after someone overhauled it, one thing a buddy and I ran into is an improperly inserted cylinder sleeve. This was with an OS .55; we were at our wits end getting it to run, and we're both experienced with nitro engines. We sent it back to hobby services and that was the problem: the cylinder liner had been inserted 90 degrees off. The engine would start, run, but not really respond to throttle nor any needle valve adjustments. Take a look in the exhaust port to see if it looks partially blocked. That might indicate a misaligned cylinder sleeve.
