The Mast
If the motor is burnt - that is tricky to install and isn't cheap. However, replacing just the mast should cost nowehere near $120, unless you have it done for you as Sarah here did.
It's just too simple to do yourself to justify spending the labor cost.
I just bought one a year ago (when mine broke) for $50. Installation is easy - about 15 to 30 mins. It is entirely possible that the teeth on your current mast aren't set in the cog properly.
It may be found even cheaper now then what I paid. Look on eBay or http://www.usedmaximaparts.com and see if you can find one.
Good Luck!

The instructions tell you how to do everything. If you have any questions, post them here and I will try to help you out as much as possible.
