AIN'T SHE PURDY. . .

Post by Larry S »

'95 Combat Wombat with factory enduro cross kit. Top end by Ron Liddle.

It went like this -
Ron: How do you plan to ride it?
Me: My MX days are behind me, I want a cross country torquer.
Ron: I'll fix you right up!

I did the bottom end.

Sooo . . . Combat Wombat with reed valve and original CW flange mount 28mm carb?

If so, that is pretty much exactly the engine I rode in the ISDT Qualifier events wayeeee back in the mid-1970's. Great woods engine with quite respectable "go fast" capabilities.

DOH - I had screen scrolled such that the top line of opening message was off the screen. (Sorry 'bout that.)

You are going to like that engine!

The entire engine: head, barrel, and cases, were vapor blasted in my new blast cabinet.
