1995 Suzuki King Quad - Broken Camshaft Help

I recently discovered I broke the valve cam shaft in my 1995 King Quad (model LTF4WDXS). The break point was right next to the timing sprocket. Could someone help me w/ a few questions?

First, the place where the cam shaft broke has scored the seat where the shaft turns on both the top and bottom of the valve cover. To the point where it looks and feels rough. Can I use a very fine grinder to hone out some of the rough areas or will it likely oversize the housing and the shaft will wobble? OR is it repairable?

Second, if it is repairable, how do I time it? Can someone suggest the procedure or a resource to learn that procedure?

Thank you in advance for your help.

      2006 Arctic Cat Utility transmission drive shaft replacement.
      By Shorty51
      Good morning, I am new to the forum. I'm 75 years old and love getting ATVs back to usable condition. I particularly like the 2006-2009 Arctic Cat 250 Utility. I currently own 6. The 2006 I am working on only has reverse and low gear. The "drive shaft" in the transmission is completely stripped where the high gear would mesh. Has anyone on here replaced the shaft. I'm told I have to split the case. I was hoping that someone on here could let me know how hard it will be. I already have it stripped down to where the shaft coming in from the clutch side is the only thing left. I was hoping I could just remove the driven clutch and drive it out from there. Directions say different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Leaking valve seals?
      By LCP92
      Guys, I've got a 1999 Honda Foreman 450S.  It runs great, but smokes out the exhaust after startup until it warms up.  I'm thinking the valve seals are leaking.  I was wondering if there is a way to replace them without removing the head or if there's an oil additive that will recondition the rubber seals.  Any advice?

      Shaft drive vs chain drive?
      By P_syko
      Which is more reliable? Shaft or chain drive?

      1998 Polaris Magnum 425 starts but dies right away.

      I picked up this ATV that had no spark. The previous owner said he was driving it and it died and would not start. He discovered it had no spark. He replaced the CDI and the coil with no luck. He got tired of it and I bought it. I replaced the stater and now it has strong spark. Now, it starts for a second or two then dies. It will not stay running. I have checked the timing and it is spot on. The valves are adjusted correctly. I see no warn issues with the cam. I put the original CDI and coil back on it. Same problem exists. Compression is at 65 psi (has decompression mechanism),
      I took off the muffler in case the issue was clogged pipes. No change. I replaced the spark plug. No change. The carb was an aftermarket so I put a Niche carb on with no change. I bypassed the fuel pump and that did nothing to solve the problem. 
      I don't know if this is a carb issue or an ignition issue. I am looking around locally for an OEM carb to try out but not sure that will fix the problem. 
      Can anyone help me solve this problem. I am running out of ideas. 
      Thank you for your time
      Bill
