down for low

[jonellis]

Does anyone know if there is a shifter/ignition cover that will convert my ace 100 to a down for low pattern?

[viclioce]

Find a shift cover which says HODAKA instead of ACE 100. The HODAKA covers are a traditional 1d 4u shifter! Watch out though. They are at times getting pricey. I guess there aren’t a lot left around which aren’t still in use. Victor

Ya need one like this

[viclioce]

Dan. I’ll take that one! I have a busted shifter case but have all the shifter hardware in a ziplock bag.

The case I have, has a wide crack 3/4 of the way across the front of the flywheel cover section. (See pic attached)

I could build that one if you’ll sell it to me. I have a Dirt Squirt that needs a shifter case! Let me know! Victor

Looks like that one belongs to Thrown

Someone must have run into something really hard with it on a Combat Wombst! Looks like it needs to be thrown! I tried braising it with those “Simple Welding Rods” but I couldn’t get the case hot enough to melt the rods or get it to stick. So I gave up on it.

I’ve thought about sending it to Alan to have his guy weld it for me. But it would cost more than $50 in round trip shipping.

Anyone else here do aluma-welding & could fix it for me? Victor

Check my post titled repairs.

From what I see, JB Weld should result in a quite serviceable cover.

[viclioce]

Yeah. I don’t use JB weld for exterior parts repairs. Victor

[taber hodaka]

Put the JB weld on the inside, then it is not on the outside bondo the outside and it could look as pretty as new. I will add a shift cover that can be rebuilt, to my super rat frame number contest along with the new superrat piston good used super rat coil and the new ring. ---------- Clarence

Victor what towns do you do business in, let me know and I will give you a list of shops that can help you out. ------------- Clarence

I second JB weld. I’ve used it for the same type of repair About ten years ago and it’s still holding up. Cheap, easy and effective for a rider.

[thrownchain]

If all else fails ship it to me and I can get it done.

[viclioce]

I’d rather you ship me the cover you have! Can we talk? Victor

[thrownchain]

I would prefer to keep the cover I have, they’re getting scarce.

[viclioce]

OK. Well at least you responded. I do have an alumna-welder here. Just haven’t had a reason or need to take this cover to him. Victor

[thrownchain]

If he’s good have him give it a shot. You may be surprised and will take him more work. Keep it local.

[taber hodaka]

Victor you probably have many aluminum welders in your area. If you are close to Albuquerque A to Z welding sounds really good with allot of good refferences, 660 Haines Ave NW phone 505 236 8353 Clarence

[viclioce]

I have a guy here. Would rather have an undamaged case. I’ll take this one to him when the opportunity arises that I actually will need it. Thanks Clarence. Victor

[thrownchain]

Is the only damage the crack in the front? Is there any chain damage at the back?

[viclioce]

No chain damage at rear. Bictor

[thrownchain]

I’ll look mine over tomorrow, if it’s in good shape I’ll trade ya. I don’t mind running a repaired one.

My Custom Trials S.R. (with a 01 Dirt Squirt engine) has the foot pegs moved back (for Trials) and the Shifter Lever turned
around so "Low" is Reversed (Down for 1st).

[Bullfrog]

ribuhite,

Something isn't adding up. An 01 Dirt Squirt engine has a separate magneto cover and separate shifter cover with "down-for-first" shift pattern. If you reverse the shift lever on that engine to reach foot pegs which are set back . . . the shift pattern will be "up-for-first".

On the other hand, IF you have a model 96 Dirt Squirt engine AND it has a replacement Ace 100 magneto/shifter cover (Ace 100 molded into the outside face of the cover) AND you reverse the shift lever for set-back pegs . . . THEN you'll have "down-for-first" shifting.
