tightening up a loose kickstart?

[C Kerley]

My kickstarter on my 350X is really "sloppy" and loose. I took it off and as you can see the ball roller has rubbed a path, and it doesn't lock firmly at either end. I started to take it all apart, but after taking off the C clip that pin still won't come out. Any suggestions???

if thats whats sloppy and loose, you can

A. get a new one
B. take it apart, machine bushings for it, re-assemble
C. take apart, weld-fill the pin holes, re-drill out and re-assemble.

if you have no access to machine shop tools, then the easiest and cheapest option would be option A
