Get the electric start working. The starter screw is broke into the frame and I have to remove engine to get it out and create new threads.

One thing that helps to not break kick starts on scooters is move the lever so it is in the 1:00 position instead of the 3:00 position.

Slot the screw with a dremel and thread it out. Removing broken fasteners is an essential skill for working on scoots.
When replacing fasteners always use anti-seize on steel fasteners threaded into aluminum.

please get a good picture of the broken bolt, so we can see what you are working with, and try not to piss off the mechanical Gods by using an easy out, which will only result, in a broken bolt,with a super hard broken easy out, broken in it, which is nearly impossible to remove

Seems like fixing that e-start will save you some headaches.
A less expensive Dremel(off brand) will work also. Check reviews.

A dremel type tool is one of the 'essential' power tools.
A person can never have too many tools. They say even Easy-outs can have their uses when used very carefully.
