I would asume this is the 750-4, not the twin as you don't say.
Change the whole thing, not just rollers and springs. The casing could develop hair thin cracks, the center hub may have flat spots not visible to the naked eye. Too much disassemble involved to go cheap. I know people who was changing again in a few months.
...................first time I changed one, it was the hub out of round.
If this is the 750-4, among other things...you would need factory manual......impact gun....clutch nut....., impact screwdiver.....any gaskets or o-rings you may encounter...change the cushy drive rubber inside it......clutch holder....of course you realize the whole drive clutch has to come out....plus exhaust....and left cover also.

I updated the topic.
Its the 750B twin. And I cant replace the whole thing. They are rare.

Then dismiss what I said.....except for the part of changing the whole thing.....all parts of this type of starting clutch are susceptible to wear, break, or crack,....sorry. But if no choice, I suppose you will have to take your changes with what you have.

It seems like it will be now be a kickstart only bike. Not my preference, but it is what it is. Parts are hard to find, in this case, a new starter clutch gear is near impossible to find.

I dont see anything. Whatever you attached, didnt post. And if its what I think it is, from the ebay number (I guessed), thats the starter clutch for a 400, not a 750 Twin. It will not fit

As mentioned above it’s a lot of work to trust aftermarket parts. Good luck!If you look above, in the original post, I mentioned I already ordered this stuff from Old Bike Barn
