Reset the needles to factory settings. It sounds like the engine is either starving (too lean) or flooding (too rich). If I had to guess, I'd say too lean since it shuts down but restarts. If you flood it, it's a bit harder to restart unless you can cycle the excess fuel out.
Just a guess...

yeah mine did that. Try driving it cold. If it takes off and runs good chances are its starving for fuel.

Is it getting good compression? To make sure it is not leaking around the glow plug, when there is still a little around the gp after unflooding it, put the gp in. Make sure there is a tiny bit of nitro around the gp. start it and see if the fuel bubbles. It was happening to me. Other than that I would say you may need a new ps.

how much would you say a new sleeve is

It depends on what truck you have but I would say about 40-60 bucks. Not a ton of experience but you can get them pinched. It makes the sleeve tighter and requires new break in. Again not a ton of experience so I bet sombody will tell you more. Also I am not posative that is the problem, Ask sombody that has more experience like lessen or Rolex, Good guys.

Well yeah. It makes it a tiny bit smaller. Its a bit cheaper and is basically the same thing. I would do that before you get a new one. Ask around I bet sombody will do it for you. Also search Pinch on here and see what you find.
...moved to proper forum...
