Ok. I have nice strong blue spark jumping from plug to the head when I remove the plug. Back to the timing. If I put the mark from the flywheel to the left mark on the case and set the points at .013 with feeler gage is that good enough to start it? I have an meter and a dial indicator if needed but...

I haven't verified the spark plug but I did try 3 different nos plugs. I will try that next. I set the points with the left mark on the case. I've rebuild small horizontal engines and know you want the points to brake at a certain amount before top dead center and you can adjust it by rotating the s...

Thanks for the reply. There's no key. It's not mounted to a bike. It just has the blue and black wire plug. I put a steel rod in spark plug lead and it looks like nice strong spark jumping when I bring it close to the head.

I'm having trouble starting an ace 100 engine. It has a fresh bore hone and piston from roger lippiatt. I replaced all bearings, gaskets and seals. The points are set at .013". The gap between flywheel and lighting coil exciting coil are set at .01". It has great spark and compression. It ...

http://hodaka-parts.com/item.asp?PID=269 part number vm2024 for float. It's for the old style 20mm mikuni.

The floats are available. I don't know if we're allowed to give links.

Thanks for the tips

Does anyone know a source for mikuni 20mm rebuild kits for ace 100 carb? Strictly hodaka says out of stock.

Does anyone know what the ace 100 air filter body is plated with? Looks like cadmium but not sure.

This is a great forum. Lots of good info and good people. I have 2 hodaka ace 100 engines I'm rebuilding (an e code and a p code). I recently visited roger lippiatt and traded my cylinder that needed rebored and honed for one that was already done with a new piston in it. My other cylinder I just no...

I'm sorry the question is about cylinders. I couldn't figure out how to edit the title.

Is the ace 90 cylinder the same as an ace 100 but with a smaller bore? I have an e code ace 100 that needs a new cylinder and a friend says they have an ace 90 cylinder I can have. I was wondering if I could bore it to accept the ace 100 piston. Thanks in advance for any help.

I tore down a model 92 ace 100 engine to replace bearings and seals. I noticed the transmission gears only go in one direction. Can anyone help with the gear direction? Thanks
