I think dropping a new engine is the way to go.
But before you shop around for one, make sure you take a note on what you currently have on your scoot:
1. Do you have a short or long case?
2. Stator: AC or DC? 8 or 11 poles (AC)? 12 poles (DC)?
3. Figuring out the manufacturer of your scooter is helpful to know the pedigree of the drivetrain.
As a last resort check the first 3 digits of the VIN and search for the manufacturer.
I know I have a Znen short-case on my scooter, which has a a DC CDI system with 12 poles.
When it's time for me to buy a new engine, I will buy from a Znen Scooter distributor (SSR, BMS or Puma Cycles).
Why? Because
% of the motors out there are AC with 8 poles.
If I buy an engine with AC CDI with 8 poles, then I have to do more work, pull the stator-flywheel, pull the stator, but the USED stator back in, put the USED stator-flywheel, etc ...
If I buy the correct one, I just drop the engine in, attach carburetor, connect fuel, snap-in electrical harnesses, rear tire, muffler ... and off you go.

Yeah I apologize about that go kart engine link--- I was posting on my phone and realized(afterwards) that the link I wanted to post was labeled basically the same. They MAY have the engine you want, but GEH3333 posted basically the same one I intended--with extras besides an engine, can't beat that.
