choke combat wombat

Just wondering if anyone might know how to remedy the carb on my combat wombat. After sitting up a long time, I finally got the bike started, but only with the choke on. She goes dead without choke on. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Marty

Exhaust gasket

Just received my exhaust gasket from SH. Thanks Paul for the gasket. I was wondering if it matters about the correct mounting side. Does it matter which side the gasket mounts to the pipe and head? Both sides of the gasket look about the same. If anything, one side appears to be a little more slick ...

Re: Harry Taylor (HT) pipes coming soon!!

Hello Paul,
I have just recently purchased a Combat Wombat and I accidentally dropped the bike off the stand damaging the pipe at the bend near the head and cracking the exhaust joint. I was wondering if there are are more HT2 pipes available and if so what the cost is?
Thanks, Marty

tank cleaning

Hello everybody, can someone recommend the best method to clean a gas tank of varnish and gunked up gas? The combat wombat I purchased does not appear to have any rust, but does have the residue of old gas sitting in the tank. I have a 74' Yamaha mx 125a resto project and on that tank I used white v...

1975 road toad

Does anyone know if a 75' Road Toad is eligble for vintage 100cc cross-country AHRMA compettition? What I mean is, is the 75' Road Toad considered a "like design" of 1974? I looked in the AHRMA handbook and all it said under the vintage 100 class for Hodaka was 90 or 100. Appreciate your i...
