Re: Combat Wombat Mystery
“In the racing years we cut the slide ourselves. Just made it happen. ----- Clarence” Question. Wouldn’t a 2.5 slide have a higher angled cut away than a 1.5? If so, I don’t see how you could “grind “ it, or cut a 2.5 slide to a 1.5. I’m guessing you could change the angle of the bottom of the slide...

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery
Didn’t ask, but the intake isn’t reeded is it? Just asking to eliminate possibilities. I agree with Ed. There should be notable changes in how she runs as you increase the size of the pilot jet. If it isn’t, something may be effecting your pilot circuit.

It isn’t a dial indicator. It looks like this one.

Re: Timing Light or Buzz Box?
I typically use a .013 feeler gauge because it’s right in the middle of the recommended range. I also use wood wedges to hold the flywheel steady. I did buy a tool for measuring TDC & mm before. But I’m inclined to believe the tool was not assembled correctly. It reads .094” at TDC! Way off! Yes...

Re: Combat Wombat Mystery
I had a similar problem with a Wombat motor. The issue with mine was too big a pilot jet. It had a 40 pilot in it with a 24mm carb. When I changed the pilot back to a stock 25, the issue resolved itself! I suspect you may have too small a pilot jet, or possibly main jet, in your 28mm carb. Here is t...

Timing Light or Buzz Box?
I’m getting pretty tired of trying to set points by lining up on the left case mark. Also, this Ace I’m working on had the left case mark worn down. I measured the distance for the left mark and made a new mark in the case, but it’s probably just ‘close.’ What are you guys using for a timing light o...

Re: What The Heck….
Well, as it turns out I was having low blood sugar while putting the motor back together. I set the flywheel down and the magnets picked up some extra shims which stuck to the inside of the flywheel. They got bent up under the flywheel and jammed it up. Soon as I pulled the flywheel, I found them. N...

Re: What The Heck….
Yup. For sure. Lee told me to check that the woodruff key didn’t move and get stuck inside the flywheel. I think I used Yamabond on the key, I believe….but I guess we’ll find out….

…is going on??? I took an Ace motor apart, to put new seals in it. Motor was running, albeit poorly, when I took it apart. Installed new seals, put it back together, and now something is locking it up. It’s turns only so far, then locks and won’t turn. It spun freely after putting the case screws in...

Re: Hodaka 250 Clutch (fiber) plate thickness
I just bought an entire bottom end rebuild kit for my 175SL. Same as the 250’s. If you call Terry, he can give you a part number for a 175/250 bottom end kit instead of ordering individual pieces. It’s only about $20 more than a 100/125 kit!

I’m pretty sure if you talk to Terry he can tell you the diameter of the OEM kick shaft and probably tell you the number of splines. He also offers a replacement, extended kick shaft. So give Terry a Call at about 10 am Central Time, before he gets busy! His number is (314) 313-5635. Good luck! :uge...

Re: New 250 kick lever install…
Mike. Unfortunately, the ED250 was picked up February 6th. It left here & went to Hodaka Dave and John Aloi picked up the bike on March 15th from Dave and took it home to Kentucky. So I no longer have access to the bike to do the measurement for you. Sorry.

There is also a VM 24mm in the 93x Super Rats. It has a lever choke instead of the pull button choke. Make sure you get the carb correctly identified.

Re: Color
Here’s what I use. Very close to the original! Not expensive either! Same color as the Rustoleum Safety Red but much easier to use. Second coats well with no crackling. Rub it with a 3M scuff pad on between coats! I still use a self etching primer under neath first.

Well that’s what I thought. Yes, just about everything is useable in an 83B except the carb body and the needle jet tube from the 83A carb. So he has an 83B he will send me.
