Joe, No there is no cost for advice here. Kelly's advice to join and get access to all issues of the clubs newsletter is spot on and appreciated by all of us who are loving the Hodaka experience. If you get hooked on Hodaka's it really is a great deal. As for your bike... If it has been sitting for ...

Forrest, Another thought on the brakes. Have you played with the cam lever position? When you apply the brakes fully, the cam lever should not go beyond 90 degrees. If you are close to 90, then you can re-position the lever to reduce the angle. A long shot, but worth checking.

Laurie, I think the Ace 90 rectifier will be fine (same part number 909440 for both the 90 and 94), but you will certainly want to add a Road Toad 6vdc regulator to the mix. The 94 will put out more voltage than the 90 and the lights will not take it without the regulator in place. Nice find on the ...

Thumbs up! Well done Paul. Happy New Year!

All colors can be purchased on the Strictly Hodaka web site if you want the correct colors. Here are some links. Early Red (available with or without Preval sprayer) http://www.strictlyhodaka.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=206010A Pewter for case covers http://www.strictlyhodaka.com/ProductDetai...

Yes, 160 sounds right for a 94 Wombat. I know that some came stock with a 140. The good news with the Wombats is that it is so easy to change the main jet so I would take a notepad and do some testing and document what you experience at each temperature range. Find the main jet that is "too ric...

Forrest, Here is a statement that will likely make some scratch their heads... but I am going to throw this out anyways. This is just my opinion... Cold air means more air in the fuel mixture to the motor and therefore a lean condition. To compensate for that you need more gas through your jetting. ...

Kelly, Thanks for the clarification and reminder on the pinch bolt. I knew that there had been previous detailed information from Ed on the front brake adjustment and just did not take the time to find the source. Forrest, I am hoping that you have that Wombat jetted pretty rich in 40 degree tempera...

Good to hear another Wombat running. Congrats. As for your front brakes, I would add to be sure and clean up the surfaces along with new shoes and then set the pads in place by doing these steps; raise the bike, loosen the front axle, spin the wheel, apply the brake firmly and hold, tighten the axle...

Jacob, If you are still having the issue of no spark and need some trouble shooting tips, I would recommend the detailed article on ignitions contained in Hodaka Club's "The Resonator Revisited", Volume 2 Number 2 dated October 2011. You can get this document and all of the past and future...

Congrats! How fun. Happy Holidays.

Dave, That looks correct to me. Too cold here today to go to the shop and compare, but just looking at the schematic, the speedometer bulb is going to get 6vdc from the battery at all times regardless of the emergency (AC/DC) switch setting. Since this bulb never gets the magneto AC output, the bulb...

Every kid in America took his turn signals off of his Hodaka. They are out there for sure. The fun is finding a set. As for your ethanol question, you are talking vintage 2-strokes here. Ethanol in our pump gas came about after these bikes were designed. There are many issues to be concerned about a...

I strongly second what Bob said!

As for the different case colors; there are a number of variations in the different models over the years. Besides the color difference, the later years saw the addition of the oil injection, reed valves and different cylinder design.

The Road Toads have an oil injection system that allows you to place injection oil in the oil tank and then just plain (preferably non-ethenol) gas in the gas tank. If it were me, I would not use the oil injection without completely testing it out first. If you wish to just run pre-mix, I would just...

I'm glad this thread came back. I'm a visual learner so I made this image below. Do I have this correct on how to wire the regulator on an early Wombat (94 and 94A)? What is different is that single female connector on the green wire from the Main Harness was replaced with a dual female connector i...

I recall reading on the old forum site where the Ace did not produce the voltage to be of concern and that this was pretty much an issue with the early Wombats. The 94 has nothing and the 94A has the current limiter. The voltage regular should be added to the 94 and replace the current limiter in th...

Use just the Road Toad regulator. It connects between the main switch green wire and ground. I replaced the green wire single plug with a dual plug near the main switch.

To ID your bike, go to the Strictly Hodaka home page http://www.strictlyhodaka.com and select the "Hodaka Serial Identification" tab/picture. Your frame (C04828) confirms that the frame is a 94 Wombat, however, you need to ID the engine. The same web page will highlight where to find the e...

A check of your engine number of will confirm the model. For a 94 Wombat; My preference for Crankcase oil - BelRay Gear Saver 80W. We are poking a hornets nest here talking about oil... but you can not go wrong with this choice. The case holds 20oz, but you can only get about 16oz out via the drain ...

Don, That is good news for sure. Just for clarification, did you have too many clutch disc spacers or extra outer clutch thrust washers? The clutch disc spacers are the large washers that fit inside the clutch disc on the outside of the clutch pack. These spacers come in .2, .3 and .5mm sizes. The o...

Yes, that is correct. Does pushing the bike, with it in gear, turn the motor over? And if so, will it start by pushing it?

P.S. I hope you have a kill switch... It is always a good idea to be able to shut a 2-stroke down in a hurry, should the need arise.
Dale

Don, The clutch nut torque spec for an Ace 100B is 250 in lb. Too much torque will mash the clutch pinion bushing. Since your issue with the kick starter appeared after your work on the clutch pack, I would suspect that the problem is with the clutch pack. Either you mushroomed the pinion bushing or...

I 2nd what Bruce has said. I picked up several from BikeBandit with their brand stamped on them for under $10 apiece. Small size is perfect for the 100 and 125 bikes. Check the major suppliers and look for a sale. These are covers that are only good for indoor storage which sounds like what you need...
