LOL you got that right, If I told you what I spend on toy trucks I am sure some nice people in white coats would show up and haul me off to a padded room. When this thing is finished it will have cost me more than my tank! http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18816

your fuel line needs to be changed .. those lines get clogged up after awhile .. garantee you if you change the fuel line it will work ( about 3 bucks )
I have a revo 3.3 as well, and I change my line atleast once a year.

you can try it but I dont think it will help if it was the fuel line it would not start at all if it did start it would run real lean as it would be sucking air in the the fuel. run it till it stalls and see how much compression it has.

I'm willing to bet it's a worn piston/sleeve. Notro engines becomre real finicky if not impossible to keep tuned when they wear out. Usually, thats the reason why the owners sell them, they get frustrated. Sleeves can wear out fast, in less than half a gallon, if they are run to hot.
