Kickstart

Hi everyone,
A problem I have with my rarely used (500 miles last year) CB400/2 is that the kickstart stays down when it's operated.
By 'jiggling' it about a bit it can be pulled back up into position by hand, but it feels a bit rough as if something is broken in the casing.
I've never had cause to use the kickstart and the fault was only found a long time after an MoT where the bike was left for a few days.

What can I expect to find when I eventually start to sort it out and how much of a job will it be ? :(

Bryanj:
Kickstart return spring broken or incorrectly fitted is first guess and that is clutch cover and possibly clutch off job. If it is any other problem its an engine out bottom crankcase off job

Many thanks Bryanj for a rapid response.
I'll have a look at it as soon as I can get some heat into my garage which is colder than our refrigerator at present.
