Yes!

Removed the kick start lever and take off the cover, it should be obvious.

It is probably just jammed up

The spring is pretty robust part....I have never seen a broken one.

They can slip loose from the catch, but your most likely problem is the assembly needs a good greasing. If the cup gear goes dry the whole assembly will stick like none other.
