If those don't fix it, here's a useful link:

A complete rebuild is both more time consuming and expensive than you can wrap your head around if you have to ask, no offense. I did a bunch of work on mine and it was entirely too much effort for what it was. Then I swapped a built newgen engine in. Besides a few small details, that was very easy.
What I'd learn in the process is worth my time. Y'know, getting out of your comfort zone and all that crap that keeps us all from killing ourselves. But, as this is my only motorized vehicle, I'll try to not bite off more than I can chew for now. At least until I get my hands on a Craigslist Virago that doesn't suck ****.
