| If the stubby shaft is no longer gripping in the one-way, then removing one of the bearings may help, as it allows the stubby shaft to find its centre in the one-way, and consequently engage. The following might then help you:
Undo the bolts in the conical connector, thus releasing both the hex starter shaft and the stubby one-way shaft. Heat up the wand piece with the two bearings, and allow the front one to drop out. Make sure the back one remains in place as the piece cools.
Now replace the stubby shaft, screw the wand base onto the part mounted on the starter motor shaft, let the stubby shaft rest up against the front of the starter motor shaft, and replace the conical piece on the stubby shaft. Tighten the caphead bolt, making sure that the conical piece does not rub against the wand base when you push down on it.
Now replace the hex wand and voilá, you get another year or more out of your KSJ unit.
If the one-ways are gone, then I'm unable to help you.
