I went and purchased a repair manual after 2 days of tinkering with the bike in my garage. I dismantled the bike even more and noticed after closer inspection that the gear on the kick shaft has a hair line crack at the weld that connects it to the shaft itself. I also noticed that the gear was bent outward. I banged it straight with a hammer and it is working fine. Now that I know that was the problem I will most likley have it re-welded or just replace the part. I would say thanks for the help but no one responded even though I did have several views. Was I blackballed for violating some PW50 code?... I may never know? Anyway, I think the problem is solved and so all is well.
