How wide were the forks on the first hodaka ACE 90 before the MK11 hodaka. ---------- Clarence

But in the day, when we modified our race bike and the race was tomorrow, you did what you needed to do in that moment in time. I would not recommend it to any one. We were good tuners and to me Harry was among the very best, of the best. ------Clarence

In the racing years we cut the slide ourselves. Just made it happen. ----- Clarence

Only two hodaka manuals cover carburetor tuning, that I know of. The ace 90 manual page 99. It shows the fuel flow route for choke and non choke. The pilot jet influence up to 1/8 throttle that combined with the slide cut away, only influenced up to a 1/4 throttle. The needle and needle jet covered ...

Has it ever been ported, exhaust port raised? That can really get things off kilter. How about a smaller thinner needle? Clarence

Point gap by the book is .012" as Dale said or up to .014" Harry at one time suggested the larger. Too small of a point gap can burn or pit the points, as can a bad condenser. Clarence

anymore I set the point gap, no timing mark. In my dealer years I had a frosted bulb and small battery the bulb went brighter when the points closed, Then later I went to point gap and eyeballed that. My feeler gauge is about 1/4 inches wide. try different ways and pick the one you like, I have neve...

Apart twice and then the first time. Turns over after the case screws are installed, Does it turn over after the clutch is on? Go slow, check it one step at a time and you will find the answer. I have never glued on the key and I never would, however others may have found, it to be of help to them. ...

Keep it up Victor some day you will have a dozen. ----- Clarence

Where from in Idaho where to in Minnesota? Clarence you can call me.

Just my guess. I would try a new plug, points and then the rest. Clarence

Thanks Dale there are probably 270,000 reads that should have not counted so hope we are back to normal. Clarence

Are you riding it yet? ---- Clarence

Sorry for the reader numbers listed here, they are probably off by 160,000, it was meant for hodaka friends, but it was read by the trivia players. ------ Clarence

My manuals tell me the friction plate thickness (new) is 2.25mm. They are both listed in my manuals for the 175 SL (61) and the 250/SL (70A). Hope this helps. Some times oils can make a difference ------- Clarence

I will attempt to list these and know some may be in error and others I do not have owners manuals or records for them. name model dry weight/lb Ace 90 --- 155 Ace 100 ---170 Ace 100B 92A ---183 Ace100B 92B ---188 Ace100B 92B+ ---189 Ace100Rat 93 ---173 Ace100Rat 93A ---175 Ace100Rat 93B ---181 125W...

What was the difference between a EDa and a EDb. Did they produce a owners hand book for either? ---Clarence

Thanks Victor. --- Clarence

Victor, a question for you. What is the color of blue you used on your last project and is it spray can? It turned out so well. ------- Clarence

INVU. Clarence

Starting with the ace 90 what did each model weigh? ----- Clarence

Turn them over just kidding. Clarence

I would not use the 83A carb or a 22 on a reeded ace 90 or 100. I would use a 24mm or larger. ------ Clarence

The answer, was a test, to see if, anyone of you, were reading this thing..? On the shift ratchet the ace 90 used a 902008. The ace 90 with the 5 speed used a 902001R. that ratchet was also used in the ace 100 all the 100Bs 92A, 92B, 92B+also used in the superat's 93, 93A and the 93B. The wombat, co...
