Ill snap a few to see what you guys think about the internals condition and my main question I guess is are the starter motor gear clutch blocks suppose to fall out this easy? I found the order the order I think they go but they fall out before I can even try to put secondary rod back into starter gear.

Also I'm trying to see if the blocks should be perpendicular or parallel with the inside wall of the clutch gear? as you can see only one spring out of the three pushes out far enough to even contact the blocks the other two don't even touch the while sitting still.

Typical KZ starter clutch.
Pics 3 & 6, turn the rollers 90°, you can see the wear marks.
There should be a spring behind that little rod.
Push the rod back into the hole with a small screw driver.
Insert rollers in hole they should be sitting the same way as those Allen head bolts.
Take the drive gear and incert it into the starter clutch, turning as you go.
If rollers pop out,reinstall them and maybe add a little grease to hold them in place.
Once drive gear is in place it should turn one way and not the other to be functioning properly.
When you pick up the assembly to install it on on the engine don't let it come apart even a little or you could be starting all over.

Thanks for all the help guys but someone wanted to repair the basket case more then me and I figured use the money to go toward a project I was more looking forward to. So the KZ550 is sold and I'll be brining the gpz back to life honestly just enough to sale it and put the money into one of my three other projects. CB450 full bike, xt550, sr250. I'll start a new thread either for hlep on the GPZ if it gives me problems and once i get another project started.
