friends wombat

[givergas]

so last year when i picked up my 03 wombat my friends brother said he had a combat wombat . well i said i was very interested in it and let me know when hes ready to get rid of it, so a couple of weeks ago my friend says hes going to look at it and he might pick it up... WHAT .. so he calls me and says its not to bad of shape and is taking it, but he dosent have a lot of time to work on it as he beef and crop farms and he is pretty busy and would i be interested in fixing it up for him, get this, since im the local hodaka expert. HA HA HA. well 1. cuss him out and tell him to go fly a kite 2. cuss him out tell him were to put it. or 3 yea bring it over and my assistant and i will get it cleaned up and running. so thats what we will do. as my 10 year old grandson said " well if we cant own it at lest we can work on it and take it for a ride" so here he comes today and its not a combat wombat its a 72 94 wombat so new project . my assistant and i will have the satisfaction of knowing that theres a hodaka wombat on the rural roads of central minnesota once again ...more to come....albert

we had some time on our hands today so took it down to the frame. a couple of questions on the head , two long head bolts ? , and what is the clamp type thing on the frame behind the magneto ? i cant seem to find it in the schematics.....albert

[givergas]

oops ignition coil not magneto

[bobwhitman]

Those are all parts of a “head steady “ designed to stabilize the motor. Other part connect the bracket to the studs. Mostly CW (95) parts

As Bob mentioned, it was a head stay to cut down on vibration. I think they only came on the earlier Wombats. I have seen them both ways, so I don't think it was very critical. If you check, you will see that the parts mounted to the frame tube (behind the coil) are actually a pair of handle bar clamps (Hodaka was good at re-purposing parts).

Terry at Hodaka Parts Inc has that part

[givergas]

if its not critical we will let it go for now. getting into it a little bit and it looks like it has many things in common with the 2 ACE B+,es we did . i just ordered parts and and talking to myself about how ive done this before. were doing the engine, forks , carb and misc parts, need to find a clutch and a shifter/ mag cover any points in the right direction would really be helpful. wheels and all that looks good nitto tires look almost new good enough for farm work ...albert

We’ve checked out points! They are the same for the Wombats & Aces. They are rated at .25-.27 micro farads. So you can get any, especially if you go relocated. I just bout this one, for the Honda, and they will fit in the space on the stator. You can just solder to the end of the attached wire. Victor

Honda Part # ‪30250-001-013‬ and #30250-001-024 fit Hodaka 90, 100 & 125 cc motors.

Gee victor! Who gave this Info to you? Kawasaki F8. Same Points and PROBABLY the Condenser too for 125 Hodakas. OOPS! To Know for sure you would have to buy the Condenser Sudco#617-607. EBAY prices start at $6.95 Free Shipping.I have A bunch of Crossover Numbers For Hodaka Points and Condensers but you seem to have things handled! Keep up the good work! Joe.

[viclioce]

Yes Joe! I bought 3 of them on eBay and will be mounting one up as soon as it arrives! Thanks again for the info!!! Just passing it along!

[Joe Ormonde]

Just Kidding! The Kawasaki F8 Condenser I believe is the correct replacement for Part #943010. Someone needs to buy one to see. If someone does, let us know! Otherwise I will. Joe.

[givergas]

nice info i,m heading north today i will go to the local motor sports shop and see what i can find out there, they have been helpful when I've stopped in the past. i will try and find the two victor noted and the F8 you mention joe. will be later in the evening .....albert

[givergas]

made to the shop and showed the guy who is pretty helpful and he said the numbers that i showed him didnt come up on the computer, go figure, anyway i told him what i was doing and he went and found one that he said would work, so for 3.99 i picked it up to compare with the one in the wombat. the one in the wombat measures in inches 1.081 long and .608 dia / this one .864 long and .591 dia it would sit in the Magneto assembly frame the same depth when the tab is trimmed off and that's about all i know . i think for me relocating up under the tank was fairly easy and would do it again.....albert

[givergas]

cleaning up very well

[givergas]

sooo when this bike came to me it had 3 clutch parts on the crank shaft, looked and thought i found one. looks like some things amiss could somebody tell me what i have here the pieces on the left in the pictures are the ones that came with the bike and it looks like some " custom" work on the clutch hub that was on the crank when it came thank you......albert

[givergas]

after scratching my head for a few hours looking at the primary gear in the schematics a 94 should have a 55t/ helical gear the one in this engine is a 63 tooth strait cut gear, is it possible it came out of a 93, 93A or a 93B i could not find a tooth count but it looks like the picture on the schematics it might explain why the one i got wont work....albert

[Joe Ormonde]

The parts on the right side of your photo are Wombat correct. The left side is a 93 Super Rat Primary gear and a cut down Clutch Hub part #944012. The 63 tooth gear is 93 93A Super Rat. A possible attempt to Design a new gear combo called a RATBAT. I`ve seen these things done in the past usually by someone with a SERIOUS Drug problem. Joe.

[givergas]

thanks Joe. i need to get the correct primary gear, i believe the clutch i found is correct but i think i will wait till i take the engine apart in case there's more RATBAT parts inside thanks for the help....albert

[viclioce]

Hmmm.... RatBat! That has an interesting sound to it! Victor

[givergas]

making good time i think? i have the primary gear and clutch figured out, im having trouble finding a shift side case, called in the schematic " Magneto cover ", and all the parts that go with it any help would be appreciated. the covers the hard part the rest i can get from HP

getting ready to crack the engine open

hope theres no more ratbat crap in there.....albert

[viclioce]

So did you find any RatBat crap? Or was everything inside OK??? Inquiring minds want to know! LOL!!! Victor

[givergas]

no. i found no more ratbat ,i did find metal shavings and after cleaning the o ring on the kick shaft sure looked like it was leaking....albert

[viclioce]

Yikes!!!! Best of luck! Victor
