Sweet that did it! I was able to get the flywheel off in a matter of minutes and the cases cracked soon after that. Once open I noticed that the kickstart spring was missing. Now this piece is pretty crucial since it keeps pressure on the kickstart pinion to make sure is stays put. Obviously, without this the pinion is able to move freely and end up falling off just as it did.

When I bought the scooter the shop said that it would do some work, like replace the shift cross and seals. As far as I can tell the seals look pretty new, so I am guessing they did the work and neglected to put the spring back in place.

Unfortunately, the scooter shops are all closed until Tuesday so I will what to wait until then to get the parts I need. I have to say I feel pretty darn good about my progress. Which definitely earns me a draft or two tonight at the pub!
