For all those that responded to my earlier posts. I finally took my bike to a mechanic as it was to a point that my son and I really were at the breaking point. The mechanic was backed up 2 weeks, (time of year) It's been 2 weeks and I hope that he will have it fixed and up and running soon. The weather as been unseasonally cool here in the Chicago area so it hasn't been hard to deal with not having the bike running, thou I can't wait to get on it and head down the road some.
Thanks to those who offered their help and I'll keep you all informed.
