Hi again everyone.
Could use some more advice for my fixes of my 1969 CB350K0.
So, I'm green to this but getting my hands dirty and trying to do as much as I can between myself, Clymers and this forum. I've recently discovered the problem with my kick-start, and could use some advice, tips on the process and parts if you don't mind.
The issue:
Kick-start worked fine and fired up the engine with ease, however it would not spring back and easily flop down while riding.
The problem (from what I know & see):
Thanks so much everyone. You are all a great resources for this community, especially those like me with the love, but without the experience. Any thoughts you may have will without a doubt be a helping hand.
much appreciated.

The problem (from what I know & see):
- I removed the Camshaft cover which revealed a small broken chunk of metal. It was easy to spot where it broke from, the "spindle" on the kick-starter shaft (See attached photo & micofiche).
- Replacements. This looks something ebay can best help me with. A quick search reveals this:

I'll also need new gaskets, so this looks like the correct match.

Any confirmation from anyone would significantly reduce my purchase anxiety.
- Removal. I was really hoping this simply slid out so I could slide in the replacement when I get it, but it's catching. I'm assuming it's still connected to the gear, or somethere's some catch that needs to be removed in that general area. I noticed that when rotated slightly and pulled, it'll come out, but not completely. Do I need to remove any other covers to get at this from the other side? Is there a trick to this that the blurry Clymers photos and simplistly cryptic languange doens't communicate well? I'm hoping I don't have to remove the left hand engine cover, as a couple screws are stripped.
