That you measure an existing piston, rings & cylinder and they all measure within specs, but you put a compression tester on and you only get 85 psi???? Victor

Definitely not a Webco…. Bueller? Anyone? Burller?????

Gas cap! Trying to identify…. And are any more, or similar available??? Thx! Victor

Clarence. We put a brand new OEM gas cap on this bike. No reason it should have failed. Go figure. But we have had the hottest 20 days on record here for July. Guess it was bound to happen! Just a 45 year old plastic tank. Victor

Great news! Bud Sexton is sending me a 250ED tank for the cost of shipping! Thanks Bud!!! Victor

Yeah. New Clarke tanks are $250 plus tax & shipping I’m sure. Don’t know if John wants to spend that much. Victor

Does anyone have a tank, which is useable, that they can sell? No petcocks or cap needed. Just a tank. This one popped in the heat of the garage. Thx! Victor

I do like Dale, sort of. I also like to use a 2 wire kill switch. So, I use a double female bullet connector on the blue wire from the stator, & a triple female on the black wire from the stator. Then I use male single bullet connectors on all the connecting wires. The ignition coil, the kill sw...

I remember those offers!!! Victor

If you go to the Library section on the Hodaka-Parts.com website, the specs for the carbs are listed. Dale is correct about the SH-83A vs SH-83B carbs. I’ve attached a pic of the 2 side by side, from a previous Resonator Revisited article. There are more differences than the brass top of the needle ...

A longer one! Victor

21” front wheels on the 94/94A Wombat, 95 Combat Wombat, 97 Super Combat, 98 Super Rat, 03 Wombat, 02 Road Toad, 175SL, 250SL & 250ED. Victor

Very cool Albert!!! Victor

Pics???

Greg. I’ll be happy to volunteer for next year. Scheduling conflicts are keeping me from attending this year! Victor

Ed. I have spokes which I removed from the front wheel (19”?) of a 1973 Model 96 Dirt Squirt. What do you want? Pics of spoke(s) with a tape measure along side? Victor

2 different Hodaka fellows sent me private messages on Facebook that it was on eBay! So I snatched it up! It arrived today. As you can see in the first photo, it had one broken tab which was missing. I took it out to the garage & figured out that I had a broken ignition switch with the same gaug...

I’ve gotten used to sighting in where the end of the shifter pin sits in proximity to the edge of the inspection window. I inspected several of my functional cases and got a pretty good idea where that is. Now, I just check the location of the pin on each shifter and visually set it where my eyesigh...

Use the full editor. Click the Attachments tab Click the Add Files button Select images from your saved photos in the phone. You can click one or more, but I like clicking the last photo I want shown first and save, then repeat for each picture you want to go before the last one. When each pic is se...

Here’s the Toad wiring diagram! Maybe it will help you check your wires. The AC/DC switch should have the red, green & brown wires all on the same side of the switch. I believe if you have the AC side of the switch facing forward, all 3 wires go on the side closest to the left sitting on the bik...

Greg. NOPE. It’s gone! And I know who bought it! Victor

iPhone posting is pretty straight forward. The one thing you may need to do is edit the photo slightly, to create a new “top of photo” so that it doesn’t rotate or flip upside down when it’s posted & viewed on a computer. It’s been known that unedited iPhone pics tend to show upside down on a po...

Are you a club member? If you are, go to the club website & go to the back issues of the Resonator Revisted. Look up Vol. 1, issue 4, and read the article about Clutch Blueprinting. Victor

My last post was a bit of commiserating with the poster. He said he felt he wasn’t welcome here. Tried to explain that we can’t always perceive an emotion behind written text. Though it’s way too easy for folks to do so. We need to make sure that we all explain things in a way that they can’t be per...

Sux. There are people here who will make you feel unwelcome by their demeanor. They don’t always intend to be rude, it just seems to come out that way. It kind of happens because there is no inflection or emphasis when reading typed words. Sometimes we tend to insert our own inflections or emphasis ...
