Put the spring and cap back on and try that..failing that taking something like a broom stick and putting it in the tube and wedging/hold the lower pipe in place while trying to loosen teh bolt.

I'd say wiring issues something shorting or loose??? Effected by brake lever movement and what it moves. Only on release???

WOW..I thought 3D printers were hundreds if not thousands of dollars ..who knew you can have one for $140...and can make upgrades for it on it for next to nothing. Not that I need one, just what a cool toy.. Although in watching a few utube guys it seems getting it running well is a bit of a challen...

Don't think so..starter could..starter shorted out and it could smoke.. but then it wouldn't crank at all. I'd pull the seat and plastic and look for metaled wires first. Then pull the starter and check it then on to the alternator. If she'll start after sitting for a day or two you could check the ...

Applying heat to the area of the sprang might loosen it up a heat gun or even a strong light bulb might do it. Another more involved method requires drilling a hole in a spot so you can squirt solvent right at the sprang's sprang's and plugs. Last pic shows a port added and the straw in the hole..Or...

Take the timing belt covers off and see if you have a broken belt ..if yoiu do most likely a bent valve(s) or holed piston if holed piston better/easier/cheaper to get a replacement engine. if the belts are good. do as suggested above..fill cylinders with oil/atf/kerosene etc. and let it for a few d...

What did you sing??? Any video???

Not an expert but it will fit but carbs had changes as well as lots of electrical wiring changes so might take a while to figure out if you are not an electrical wizz..at least that's what I hear??? Also better to find a 97-2000 engine as those years they "fixed" the tranny 4th gear problem by using...

Mine did the same thing I cut a small piece of rubber from and old inner tube and slipped it in the spot where the clamps hold the screen doesn't slip anymore.

Just make sure it doesn't have the 4th gear issue..
