Also what would be a good air filter for this motor that would fit its small carb neck.

That's not vapor lock- you are flooding it.

The XTM motor came with a manual right? Read it. That problem should be described in the manual along with how to clear it out. If not, go onto Globalhobby.com and ask the source. Those guys have a forum for the .18 motor, and they answer pretty quickly.

Take it easy and read the manual. Otherwise you will toast a new motor.
