I remember those offers!!! Victor

If you go to the Library section on the Hodaka-Parts.com website, the specs for the carbs are listed. Dale is correct about the SH-83A vs SH-83B carbs. I’ve attached a pic of the 2 side by side, from a previous Resonator Revisited article. There are more differences than the brass top of the needle ...

A longer one! Victor

21” front wheels on the 94/94A Wombat, 95 Combat Wombat, 97 Super Combat, 98 Super Rat, 03 Wombat, 02 Road Toad, 175SL, 250SL & 250ED. Victor

Very cool Albert!!! Victor

Pics???

Greg. I’ll be happy to volunteer for next year. Scheduling conflicts are keeping me from attending this year! Victor

Ed. I have spokes which I removed from the front wheel (19”?) of a 1973 Model 96 Dirt Squirt. What do you want? Pics of spoke(s) with a tape measure along side? Victor

2 different Hodaka fellows sent me private messages on Facebook that it was on eBay! So I snatched it up! It arrived today. As you can see in the first photo, it had one broken tab which was missing. I took it out to the garage & figured out that I had a broken ignition switch with the same gaug...

I’ve gotten used to sighting in where the end of the shifter pin sits in proximity to the edge of the inspection window. I inspected several of my functional cases and got a pretty good idea where that is. Now, I just check the location of the pin on each shifter and visually set it where my eyesigh...

Use the full editor. Click the Attachments tab Click the Add Files button Select images from your saved photos in the phone. You can click one or more, but I like clicking the last photo I want shown first and save, then repeat for each picture you want to go before the last one. When each pic is se...

Here’s the Toad wiring diagram! Maybe it will help you check your wires. The AC/DC switch should have the red, green & brown wires all on the same side of the switch. I believe if you have the AC side of the switch facing forward, all 3 wires go on the side closest to the left sitting on the bik...

Greg. NOPE. It’s gone! And I know who bought it! Victor

iPhone posting is pretty straight forward. The one thing you may need to do is edit the photo slightly, to create a new “top of photo” so that it doesn’t rotate or flip upside down when it’s posted & viewed on a computer. It’s been known that unedited iPhone pics tend to show upside down on a po...

Are you a club member? If you are, go to the club website & go to the back issues of the Resonator Revisted. Look up Vol. 1, issue 4, and read the article about Clutch Blueprinting. Victor

My last post was a bit of commiserating with the poster. He said he felt he wasn’t welcome here. Tried to explain that we can’t always perceive an emotion behind written text. Though it’s way too easy for folks to do so. We need to make sure that we all explain things in a way that they can’t be per...

Sux. There are people here who will make you feel unwelcome by their demeanor. They don’t always intend to be rude, it just seems to come out that way. It kind of happens because there is no inflection or emphasis when reading typed words. Sometimes we tend to insert our own inflections or emphasis ...

If the hold snap is not secure it will spin and strike case areas. That’s probably the metal on metal clunk you’ve been hearing. However it shouldn’t be responsible for start issues or irregular running issues. Since you have a CDI ignition I would check your flywheel and your CDI unit to make sure ...

Wasn’t it stated earlier that you can use a 99/01/02 rod with the 03 Wombat crank and the 94/95/97 pistons? I think I recall someone saying that here.

Buehler…anyone…Buehler? LOL! Victor

Another thing I’d check is this. Is the carb top missing the spacer? This gives a little bit of spring tension to the cap, kind of like a lock washer. Without it, a tightened cap could vibrate loose a little more easily? Just a thought. Victor

Obtained one of the newly modified kick levers Terry Larson had made for the 250’s & 175’s. I can say it was a successful endeavor on Terry’s part! The lever fits the existing kick shaft. If I was going to rebuild the bottom end of this motor, I would strongly recommend installing the longer kic...

Clarence, after I retired from state government, I went back to my music roots & taught music in the Santa Fe Public Schools! General music at first and then quickly started teaching band. I had a great band director in High School & he used to pull me out of class and have me conduct the Jr...

Singing I have no problem with! I could easily sing the lead in Phantom of the Opera!

I also become frustrated a bit too easily & want things to happen too quickly sometimes. But I did get it in and it’s assembled now.

And please don’t say it, Ed. I know, I know…

Well, have you ever been afraid to do too much? Victor

Yes. I had to do the pencil & sandpaper trick to make the wrist pin fit better. Still didn’t get it to single finger and thumb press in. I even lubed the hole with oil. Are there any better techniques for making wrist pins fit with little restriction? Thx! Victor
