While starting my motor for the first time on my 1974 xl125 I heard a snap and now my kick starter will lose grip at a specific rotation of the motor. My question is how do I split the motor to fix this? Does anyone have a guide that can point me at?

I think the best you can do is get the shop manual for the bike, though I never worked on that make of bike I think you might not have to split the block, probably removing the right side cover will show what needs to be done, and if that part can't be bought, can probably be fabricated.
