Default RE: REVO ENGINE PROBLEMS, plz HELP

I took my revo to LHS, and they got it running but it couldnt stay idle for long. The guy asked me how old the gas was, how long have i had it in the fuel tank. I told him about 3 days, he said it might be that it collected water so thats why it keeps shutting off. I went home and emptied it out and put some new fuel. STILL NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! well me and my buddy were determined to find out the problem. I started trying everything. After trying the flywheel got stuck with the glow plug off. Before it use to spin freely. I then thought it couldve been the ez-start, i took it off and then the flywheel was spinning freely once again. I checked the ez-start components and it all seemed right, but it still made the flywheel stiff. So as of now, im only thinking it can be that. Im thinking that the ez-start was putting too much pressure on the flywheel and it would get it stuck, so thats why it would shut off. Im not sure yet though. Any suggestiosn?
