Well...things just got worse...haha. So I unscrewed the glow plug from the Saito 150, and it does in fact glow...but it seems to have cross threaded on the way out, so it wont seal now when I try to screw it back in, I can hear air leaking out when I turn the prop. I do have another Saito 150 but the throttle seems to be frozen and I cant even move it. The plane with the malfunctioning receiver that has the max 60P seems to have a different issue. I can open and close the throttle, but I never see the carb open. I have another 60P where the carb opens that I can try and replace that with.

So how does one clean an engine...I don't have an air compressor, however I can take it over to said grandpas house, he has one.

There was definitely fuel in both engines...unfortunately for the 60P I carried in the house and turned it sideways which filled the muffler full of fuel, so I had to empty that one out =)
