The last time I rode the 1975 RD350 the kickstarter was fine. Today it seems to be jammed in the UP position.  I put the bike in gear, gently rolled it forward, put it back in neutral and tried again.  Still stuck.

Any ideas short of taking the engine apart?

More info.  I pulled the spark plugs, they are both clean.  I think the pistons and cylinders are fine.  Transmission clicks from 1st to neutral to 2nd no problem.

pull  the clutch cover something def went awry.  its probanly in there, possibly might need to pull the couch basket to see whats going on but id bet you don't have to split cases
