Kick Start Gone Bad??

The GF kick started the 101S the other day, rode about a block and then the kick start 'lever' flew forward and the scooter stopped with a loud 'clunk' sound. I pushed the lever back, started it with the electric and when I tried to ride it the lever did the same thing - flew forward with a clunking noise and the scooter stopped....Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

if it was me i'd remove the side cover and look inside.
sounds like a spring is broke.
