Hi guys,
Ive ran into a massive problem with my CB250. While trying to reassemble my topend, the lobe on my camshaft which the cam sprocket bolts to broke. A little corner piece snapped off, exposing half of the threads for the hole.

Its not that extreme, but it is very similar.
I have looked around ebay for another camshaft but I cant find one. I dont have the funds yet to buy a brand new one, so was wondering if it is possible for it to be welded back on, and then the hole retapped?
I know it was heat treated steel. but was wondering if this was a possibility.
Ill get some pictures up tomorrow to show how bad it is.
