Newly rebuild 93A with stock carb. Had alot of trouble with this carb "loading" up when first starting bike. Everyone here gave great advise.So I cleaned and cleaned on carb- no difference. Then I'm thinking, these are just passages, so I replaced float bowl and got the jet back in banjo b...

As I read my post- I see someone that wants to throw money at a problem to make it go away. Bullfrog stated " (especially if that mod is what you need to get the machine running in the first place)". Was the mod what I needed? Hmmm. time to look again. Fresh bearings,seal and top end. Guil...

Bullfrog, I have intakes from a dirt squirt and a road toad. But as Joe said "Power is lost and found by trying new and at times strange things." I have a Spigot mount setup from Hodaka parts on my combat Wombat and it has been great. I should just source a wombat/combat wombat intake. Any...

Would an reed valve intake-minus the reed valve work on an 93A Super Rat to convert to Spigot mount carb?

So, I noticed some black oily on the top fin of cylinder of Combat. looks like head gasket may be leaking. That's just a guess on my part. Can I just retorque head? Pull head and install new head gasket without disturbing base gasket? Replace both gaskets?

Arrow on piston towards exhaust? Lip on ring up?

I have a weak spark and noticed that my stator coil wire has come loose a little. Saw this great looking used stator assy for sale. Got it---my unit has coil on left and blank on right. Purchased unit has blank on left and coil on right. so the questions- will it work with coil on right? How do I te...

so after all this time I finally got my leak down system? made, lost pressure about as fast as pumped in. Leaking on seal on clutch side of crank. I'm so glad I did that! So I took cylinder off after that. Does anyone have a port drawing of a 93Acylinder or is there another way to tell if its the co...

What you suggest for a carb upgrade on a 93A? Not wanting to go reed valve, not a full out racer, just want good running bike without the oring issue and whatever else is wrong with my carb. Maybe the 24mm carb saving is my best choice?

Are the factory bolts zinc plated/ some chrome plated? any one having luck with zinc plating at home?

So ... I got the Super Rat to start, ran really rich, main jet screwed in where oring usually is. I think gas is still getting by jet. Is this carb worth buying all the parts to rebuild? Would I be better off to purchase a new carb and convert to spigot mount?

OK school me. To check the timing on a non running bike would just be checking point gap at the second (left) mark?

So I picked up a fairly complete 93A super rat. Hadn't been started for a couple of years (maybe because it wouldn't start). I redid some electrical connections and got spark, cleaned carb (twice). Still not even a pop when kicking. Screwed in my old hose style compression tester. Looks like 105 on ...

Victor, look at this picture. Model 93 24mm carb on left, model 95 28mm carb on right. The 95 carb is alot bigger and the jet bowl bolt in differant location.

Thanks everyone for the help. I watched all the socalhodaka super rat videos. I didn't realize that the oring part screwed out. A quick look at Hodaka parts inc and there it is! can be bought! I noticed same oring for model 93 and 95, just happen to have a model 95 flanged carb for parts! Think I'll...

Help please, Just got a Super Rat and took carb apart. From the outside it looks correct.On the inside it has a second main jet, the jet in bowl is a 140, jet in carb is a 95. Is this correct? Is it a Super rat carb?

That pipe looks good,Kelly
Thinking about building a late model Dirt Squirt with alloy cylinder- but there is a model 98 frame lurking in basement

motocross/off road- thanks for the arrestor/silencer tip, I believe in treading lightly!

Are there any aftermarket exhaust systems still available?

Back with more information, I put new shifting springs in my bike (that was a major victory for me), new clutch plates and did the "blueprinting" of the clutch. Assembled it on a drill press so I could make it work. I never knew a Hodaka clutch could work this good.Now back to the miss- I ...

Great thoughts, been busy and haven't worked on bike. I will keep you informed. You are "teaching me how to fish" thanks

Ok, I may have misled you with my "still the same" I did not do a plug chop with all the jets, I just tried bigger jets to see if it would help with the "breaking up". I will get more plugs this week and start with a 190 and work down to see what happens. I am at about 650 feet o...

I messed with the combat today, cleaned air filters and tried 2 different air filter oils, no change. Put a 190 jet in it, no change. Did a plug chop, looked good. Tried a 180,190,200 and 210 jet. Same with all.Still sounds like it's breaking up at high RPM and I could go more. Checked exhaust and i...

You guys ask tough questions, but I know I am going to replace springs on control shaft, first time in bike! Then I will do complete carb teardown, cleaning and jet verification.I'm also going to check exhaust pipe. I will do some plug chops (B8HS)and will get back with you then. Thank you!

Okay, I do try to "snick shift" but have stomped also so I will install new springs and see where that goes. The motor porting is stock,no reed valve, stock bottom end. I did put a spigot mount 28mm carb from Hodaka parts before season. It has stock jetting, I have run a 190 main jet also....
