Re: Combat Wombat Mystery

We will be anxious to hear your progress. I do keep good notes but then have to remember to look at them! My notes showed that I had also tested 2.0 and 1.0 slides. The 1.5 was the ticket. I could only find a 2.0 so far so I ordered that. It should at least make some difference. Does your track bik...

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery

Well, I went back to my notes on my current carburetor settings. I have 2 Combat Wombats with OEM carbs and they both run the 2.5 slide. However, my track Combat Wombat, with the replacement carb setup, runs a richer 1.5 slide! In my notes, I was chasing an off idle lean condition as well. Hummm, I...

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery

Slide cut away 1/8 to 1/4 throttle. ------Clarence This is where the bike won't run. Starts and idles fine. As soon as you crack the throttle it wants to die. If you leave the choke on It will run and ramp up to 3/4 to full throttle and it runs strong there. Slide is 2.5 and that is what stock spec...

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery

I mentioned air cleaner and exhaust removal just so you could eliminate these from the equation. Removing the pipe completely eliminates puddled fuel and wasp nests. I have another pipe that has been roasted in the bonfire. It has small corrosion holes in header and needs repair. When I get back fr...

You said the pipe was a flame thrower style. Is it the correct cross over pipe for a model 95?
This bike does have the correct through the frame early model 95 flame thrower pipe

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery

So this morning I tried raising the fuel level in carb. Raised it quite a bit but was still not overflowing. Made no difference at all. This is a piston port engine. As far as any porting work that had been done on it I could not say. Nothing appeared to be polished or anything but I did not take me...

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery

This Carb I got from Hodaka parts came with the stock jetting that Victor describes. The carb is an all new 28mm mikuni spicket (including slide) that comes with a flange adapter from Hodaka parts and is supposed to be set up for model 95. I know for sure that there is plenty of fuel to the carb and...

Combat Wombat Mystery

I have a Model 95 that I have recently restored that has me completely puzzled and I am looking for help figuring out this mystery. Symptom: Bike starts easy and idles perfect. It wont transition from idle to mid/top throttle unless choke is on. If choke is engaged it will ramp up to top end and run...

Oversize petcock?

I have a really nice model 95 Combat Wombat tank that has been re-chromed and is dent free. The one problem with it is that the petcock threads seem to have been taped out to a bigger size and the stock petcocks don't fit. I am not sure what size these threads are. Does anyone know of a petcock that...

99 Road Toad Head Light?

I am trying to get the headlight on my model 99 Road Toad to work off the battery with the emergency switch in DC position and I can't seem to make it happen. After staring at the wring schematics (that i can barely see) for half the day I am beginning to think that I am trying to make it do somethi...

Foot Change Shaft Identification

PXL_20231207_210832991.jpg I am trying to identify the foot change shaft on the left. The one on the right is part number 902005 and as far as I can see was used in all 100cc and 125cc bikes. I am assuming that the one on the left is part number 714805 used on the 175cc and 250cc bikes. Can anyone ...

Re: New to group/model 94 Carb question

I checked the throat of the carb and it has the nozzle that sticks up into the throat of the carb like the picture shown of the VM 24 SH83B so it looks like I have the good one. Thanks for the info.

Re: New to group/model 94 Carb question

Ok, Thanks for clearing that up Dale. My serial number is post C01701 and after looking at the carb it is the type B that you described. So I should be good to go with a little rehab to the existing carb.

A model 90, 92B+, 99 and I just picked up a model 94 at Hodaka days. this was our first trip to Hodaka days but won't be our last. It was a great time. Really enjo...
