definitly dont sell it . youll miss it and unless you buy another loopframe,youll never
find a bike as cool and easy to work on. my ambo coming apart this winter for a somewhat mechanical/wiring restoration. just take your time and even if you have to ship the motor out , so what it'll be fixed and you can ride next spring.

Been reading the manual on how to pull the motor and would hate to pull
it if the fix can be done while it is in the frame, would hate to waste
the time doing this if it is not warranted. In addition, I don't have
the time required to repair the motor nor the confidence that I will do
it right without screwing something up and finding out after it is
re-installed or shortly thereafter, then needing to pull it again. So I
am on the fence with 2 choices:

1. Have it fixed. Problem is, no mechanics in the area. One choice is
a newcomer in Brooklyn NY, about 2+ hours away, but I don't have
confidence going to him nor like the area he is in. My gut says no, but
he is my only real choice. Dave in NY did say he is OK though, so that
is a plus. Other issue is any time I have a problem with this bike,
there is no mechanics around to help.

2. Sell the bike and have the nightmare be over. Problem is I have
more than $4K invested already, is it possible to get at least $3K in
it's current state?

Confused and Depressed in NJ.
