crankshaft repair or replace?

[davers]

hi i am a newbie,so go easy on me if i don't know the correct words/names

6 days ago i bought a gasgas ec250,3 days later the lights packed up so i parked it up till this weekend to sort it out.

Anyway Saturday i took it a quick ride 2/3 miles to a mates and it stopped running......almost like running out of petrol,i knew it was worse though because the kick start was rock solid.

anyhow a mate picked me up and i proceeded to strip the engine,what i have found isn't pretty....where the stator/magneto(is that the name?)anyway the electric bits bolt to the end of the crankshaft......they have sheared off taking the end of the crank with it.

Anyhow i know of a very very good place for crankshaft repairs and i am going to try them when they open Monday.....but was just wondering.....do any of you have any idea how much a new one would be? as i really don't like the idea of a repair.

thanks in advance for any help you can give

cheers Dave
