2007 Roketa "Project" - Looking for Some Advice

The boss (wife) recently let me purchase a
"project", a 2007 Roketa MC-30-150. I got it for a song and I knew there were
going to be issues so I thought I'd pose a couple of questions here and if anyone has the
time and the answer, they could do so. ;o)

The skinny on the scooter: It hadn't been used in over 2 years, but was kept in
an underground, heated garage. I knew it would be a long road before I could
ride it on the open road.

It starts and runs, but dies when it's warmed up and at idle. I cleaned the
carb once (and flushed the fuel system), but I think I'll do it again. Things
I've done so far:

* Changed the oil
* Changed the crankcase oil
* Flushed/filled the brakes (needed a new front master cylinder)
* Taken apart and cleaned the carb.
* Flushed the fuel system
* New rear tire

Things I have yet to do:

* Replace the valve stems (rear tire won't hold air)
* Replace the kick start gear (appears to be stripped on the inside)
* Replace the spark plug
* Adjust the valves (if cleaning the carb again doesn't help my stalling
problem)
* Replace the gaskets on the oil pan cover

The last one is the issue I'm trying to address. The gasket is shot. It leaks
pretty bad when the engine is warmed up and I can see it leaking from the
gasket. What I can't seem to find the answer for is that my scoot has the "B"
variant of the GY6 engine (BN157QMJ). I understand that there are quite a few
parts that aren't compatible with the "standard" 157QMJ. Different web sites
say different things. So, long story longer, the question of the day is whether
or not a long case GY6 gasket kit will fit my "B" engine.

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! =)
