Crank Setback

So in putting on the flywheel I torqued on the nut to the flywheel and the threaded fly side of the crank broke off. I couldn't figure it out for a sec or two I just looked at it like what happened then I took the run out the socket and it still had the crank end in it. So now I am set back a bit trying to get it all figured out. I hadn't even gone 2 miles on the crank so back it goes to American Scooter Center. I just not a new one in but I need to put a new bearing on the crank. I am happen to have found one at a bearing shop in town for 5 bucks vs the 68 they ask for at the scooterworks or other places. So it is all part of the process I guess.
I just want to have some summer riding time before it is back to the garage for winter. I should get it ridable soon but i have said that before

Jets

Fixing my jetting situation has been a nightmare and let me tell you that one of three things is happening
1. No one knows what to do.
2. No one wants to tell me what to do.
3. They all want me to spend stacks of cash

so i have had to do a lot of research
needless to say it is getting there. But not after a ton of time.


some things for me to reference.
