Default Super nitro engine

Hello,
I have a super nitro rs4 with a .15 fe star engine and i havent started it in about 2 years and i decided to try it out and see how it was and when i pulled the start cord it dont not move so i took of the cord and it turned fine i was wondering if the engine is done any advice?

Thanks,
Matt

Hey Matt, I think what happens is that the left over fuel inside the engine tends to gum up alot and it can make the engine seem seized I bet your pull start was fine just pull the glow plug out and try pulling it over to the get piston moving . Maybe even add a shot of carb cleaner to de- gum it . Just make sure all the stuf is all out and drybefore the plug goes back in .I have cleaned one or two old airplane engines that way and once i was done they were good to go .. PS Be careful not to get any spray into your eyes!!!!!!!good luck
