Well don't pitch it, T ! May of us would LOVE to have that little power unit!!!
These little motor bikes are frustrating because we are trying to get so much from a rather small package. Many of us think it's fun to sort out all the little problems.
It's a whole lot cheaper fun than custom motorcycles or hot rods!
AND, they are a small package!
If you are stressed about it, drain the fuel, bundle it up in the corner, and throw a tarp over it for a while. As the WX gets nicer, chances are you'll go back to it and we can help you figure out a solution.
It would be helpful for you to read some of the threads on drive rollers...
