I have seen the primary gears on the old Ace 100's break from time to time, but I hadn't seen one of a Dirt Squirt break. I had been told the primary gears on the Ace and the Dirt Squirt were cast metal, while the primary gears on a Super Rat were forged. Never saw a primary gear fail on a Super Ra...

I started tearing down the motor a hit at a time to see what I will be needing for the engine. Found the primary gear with several broken teeth. I am not sure what is broken in the trans or other gears to cause this damage, or what in general could have caused the damage. I found a parts list for th...

Updating this thread. It has been an interesting two years. Lots of time in the hospital and not much time to get things done. Unfortunately, I have to go on disability, just can't work at my job anymore. I can manage a couple hours a day outside working on easy projects, so I started working on thi...

Yes. That's the parts as I received them yesterday. The minor parts are jet black and the rest are 2011 to 2013 dodge flame red. There are a few more parts still to be done in the next few days.

I got the frame and tank and most parts today back from paint. It's a dodge flame red 2011 to 2013.

Now I will start getting the chasis put together.

Perfect. Thank you.

It looks like 6607 should work.

Well. I am resurrecting this thread. I dropped off the frame and all parts day before yesterday to get blasted and primed. Now I just need to pick colors. I know the codes are ki d of hit and miss, but what I am looking for is a color that should match close. Is there anyone that might have an idea?...

On the Ace style exhaust nut, I generally do as you did and spray it with a penetrating solvent. PB Blaster or Knock’er Loose. Then I use a drift and a hammer & sit on the left side of the bike and “tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap,” until the ring spins off. Sometimes a few strikes, somet...

What part of the country is this?

It must be a very dry climate, I'm amazed at how corrosion-free this bike is after sitting outside for at least a couple of decades .

North Central Nevada. The desert is very kind to metal.

I got the book today. I am still trying to get the exhaust pipe loose so I can remove the motor from the frame and get the frame and all other components blasted and painted.

The engine is iron barreled, non-reeded and no oil injection. It also has the earlier style (one piece) shift cover. Reading through again, I picked this out on purpose. Not sure the meaning if reeded, as I am not much if a two stroke guy. But from what I read, it just means there is no real contro...

Nice Squirt! And it has a 1 down 4 up shifter case! Nice find! You’re going to have lots of fun with this one. Hardly any wiring to deal with too! Here’s an Ace Shop manual. Can’t believe the price on it. But it now! Too cheap to pass up!!! Good luck!!! :ugeek: Victor https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hodak...

Ready to go home.

Yup. Thats the plan!

Only problem I have found is the tank. By all accounts according to the frame code, the tank should be chrome. The later DS bikes were red.

I need to find the engine code to verify that as well before I start buying parts.

So, I have been with my wife for 8 years. I have walked around her parent's property a lot over the years. I have walked past a bike frame and a complete bike dozens of times. Until last evening, I decided to ask about them. One is a frame for a 1970 Honda 350 street legal bike. It is my father in l...
