I believe that is a 03 125 Wombat engine, not know the bike it could possibly be a 100 Road Toad. But I thinks its a Wombat.

But that appears to be the Forvel with model 03 engine being discussed over on Facebook. If that is so . . . and IF the oil injection has indeed been disabled . . . THEN it is quite likely that the main bearing on the magneto side has died due to inadequate lubrication.

But I am sure of the following: If it were my bike, I wouldn't run the engine ANY more. It desperately needs to have the top end pulled off for inspection/diagnosis by an experienced vintage two-stroke mechanic/ tuner. Based on some of the questions posed by the original poster (S.M.?), home diagnosis and repair may be beyond your current skill set. NOTE: It is clear the oil injection system has been disabled, and that alone may be the root cause of the internal nasty sounds from poorly lubed parts. Not good news . . . but you know more about the situation than you did yesterday . . . and folks in this group are always willing to help a Hodaka owner.
