I just purchased my Aero 125 and I love it, but when I use the rear brakes it wobbles like Crazy, and feels like it's trying to buck me off. Any suggestions, fellow AeroHeads? Attachments:

Sounds like an out of round rear brake drum or bad shoes or both.
FYI, the brake drum is part of the rear wheel. If you do replace the rear wheel, new brake shoes will be required.

Ok thanks. I've also been having an issue getting her to start. The original owner said if she sat for a week you would have to spray engine start on the carb and now that's not working. Any ideas?

NEVER use starting fluid on a 2stroke. It cleans the oil off the cylinder walls and it can also explode in the crankcase and will blow out your reeds, neither is a good thing. If you must prime use a gas and oil mile of 31 to 1 and squirt it into the carb mouth or airbox intake.
Compression check because you may have junked the cylinder and the piston.

Thanks Bear! Finally got her running like a champ! Acceleration is great but she tops out at 40 and I only weigh 180.
Any ideas what could be wrong Or what could be improved?
