Silly question really.... :D :D :D
Anyway , if anybody's got a 668 in pieces and would be prepared to take some measurements of the starter clutch and a few other related items I'd be very grateful.

I think that you are using an Atlas engine Bob, n'est ce pas?
I read somewhere that the Atlas starter clutch was unique to that model and differred from the 650/668 and the wet 750

Indeed I am Clem, and you're right, the starter clutch is unique to the 668. However, the end of the Atlas crank and the end of the 668 appear to be remarkably similar and so I'm wondering if a complete transplant of starter end gear/idler /starter ring and starter clutch from a 668 may cure the problem of the woefully inadequate Atlas starter clutch.

My  beefed up Atlas starter clutch has destroyed itself and I've come to the conclusion that asking something [which is known to weak in the first place ] to cope with higher compression, larger pistons is not going to work and I need to weigh up the options. The 668 iset up is one of them, converting a GS1000 clutch is another. Before anyone suggests it, throwing away the starter isn't an option! :D :D :D
 
Bob,
I have a blown up 668 here in pieces.
What do you need to know ?
