What next? do I need to pull the engine to replace what's broke, haven't done a cub before so this is new to me. Not afraid to do anything or get dirty, so lay it on me.

Sorry about your engine. I'm sure you have downloaded the engine manual from the tech section by now. Read thru it and decide if it's something you feel comfortable doing. Otherwise j-mech's engine rebuild/exchange is a good deal if you ask me.
