I feel for you mate. I once bought an X1 CR from a kid in Sowerby Bridge and just like yours I couldn't get the bloody thing to run at all, same problem, the "perfect working order engine that has had 5 tanks through it" was absolutely fecked. You could turn it over by rotating the crank between thumb and forefinger with the barest trace of compression. I ended up buying another very cheap X1 CR and making the best out of 2 and flogging all the spares off to recoup some money. Then I decided electric was far cleaner so the whole nitro thing was a bit a a blind alley for me in the end anyway.
