The Hodaka Club Forum

ive been looking in here for the wood block that the engine can sit on and hold steady, on its side, while you put it back together. i have some blocks of ceder that will work great for it but i need a little guidance. i just cant find the post or a picture. any help to find it would be appreciated..... albert

Just screw 2”x4” together and make a box/frame in any size you desire- obviously something the size that’ll hold a Hodaka motor. We use 2”x6” at Ducati, as the motors are bigger and lay deeper, depending on what position you put them in.

I took a piece of plywood, 3/4", laid an empty case half on it, marked where the shafts would be and drilled holes thru the plywood with a hole saw. The screwed 2"x2" feet on both ends. Works for assembly on either side.

yea thats what in looking for, a little help to wrap my mind around it......albert

On the Wombat shop manual, there is a template for making the exact engine assembly frame you want.

Look in the back issue of the Resonator, can’t remember what one. I posted how to do it.

It’s issue 2 volume 7

Volume 17

Oh I did not show the photo with the measurements, you need to join the club. Now that’s worth 24 bucks.

Here's mine, 11" x 14", 3/4 ply. Once you assemble the core motor, you can flip it over and use the correct holes to lay it flat to assemble the clutch side. Works handy.

I learned from an old sheet rock installer to put lipstick on parts to mark where to cut. You never need to measure & it’s always in the right place!

boy theres a joke in that statement. albert

Well, some folks see it as silly or funny, but when you’ve got to cut out a square hole on sheet rock for an outlet box, it works like a charm! Victor

Yea your right. Sometimes my sence of humor gets the best of me

Sounds like a revlon add watching a sheet rocker putting on lipstick , I don't see the charm. Come on victor just a little humor. Victor are Hodaka Days in your path? -------Clarence

Probably not. June is always a busy time for me. Victor
