The bolts that held my starter motor broke off... I can't get the broken off bolts out. I've tried with a drill and easy outs... but I can't get a perfectly perpendicular angle or centered point of attack on this thing. I have a cheap dremel that I was able to borrow from a friend, but it doesn't go in reverse. The threads are still intact. the kick starter lever is broken, so I don't have a way to start it now... (besides there is a big gaping hole where the starter motor was as well, so i couldn't ride it anyway)
I am pretty broke until tomorrow in which I will have $20 to go to auto parts store via the bus to buy something that is suggested. At this point, I really don't care if the fix is temporary, gerry rigged, soldered on, or whatever other crazy suggestions that are concocted. I'm not planning to resell this scooter as I don't feel like it would be right to pass this horrible headache of a scooter to someone else. I just need it to run long enough and reliably enough for me to get this new job and save up for another one.
