Thanks for the info Rich!--I found both cushioned and non on the large gear but small one 954001 doesn't seem to be available anywhere--I'll keep looking. I've got it on my wish list--
Again Thanks---
Max

Not only did I forget all my trig, I also forgot that the straight-cuts were made of steel---Reliability is most important. Now you have me looking for straight-cuts for my 94A vintage racer---Good call Rich!
Hmmm---Will any of the cushioned units fit my 94A?

Thanks, Max

I forgot all I learned in trig a long time ago but my primitive calculations show the straight-cuts have about 90% of mesh area compared to the helical ones but as they say in racing --Ever little bit helps and it all adds up. I dropped out of the Vector Mechanics class so I won't be computing the s...

I'm getting behind in my comments but pretty cool hanging out with Legends Kelly! Thanks for the share.

Max

The first guy (or gal) to tell their story doesn't have a chance--happens in fishing also--

Maxie

Hey Clarence, thanks for explaining the theory of extended fork heads. Sounds as if we lived in parallel universes--the first 90 modified continuously to the hilt for years of dominant racing fun. My muti-purpose 90 $lowly evolved into a dedicated Short-tracker and with the arrival of the 93 Super R...

Looking extra good and Max could not miss your cool RD/w pipes in the background! Hodakas and RD/RZs were the most fun things I ever owned. Anyway,good job on the project! Carry on as they say and keep us posted.

Maxie

Seriously KC, I've never seen that modification in all my years and types of racing. Tell us more about the supposed advantages of this mod (besides lengthening the wheelbase) if you can. Clarence--any input on this? Just curious--I thought I'd tried everything!
Max

Who all is going to be at Diamond Dons vintage AHRMA event in Jefferson Texas on April 16--19? Have any of you raced there before and what is the course like? (I'm getting allergic to rocks and mud in my old age.) I'm only 4 hours from there--might race (just one more time) or Eweleen and I might co...

Now that we've had big fun with your new find KC, can we see the other side? (more pixs)-- Seriously--I'm always amazed at the number of mods that were made to early Hodakas--Probably no motorcycle in history had as many after-market parts available (Think Webco, Bassani etc.) over a period of years...

Hey Tom--My 94A speedometers hand has fallen off. I was afraid to pry all this apart but I might give it a try--Thanks for your input! This is a good resource!
As always---
Maxie

Hey Clarence, This is kinda funny but I have this old Wiesco Piston on my desk as a paper weight. (From 40+ years ago – 100cc). It does look like it's a .090 over. Mine still has the decimal showing it to be a .060. It appears to be stamped on the wrong side of the crown. You're off the hook! Maxie ...

These Mods from the Past ( Deep water AC and fork head extensions) I've not seen before--I think we're breaking new ground here!
WOW!

Maxie

I'm trying to type a comment but I'm speechless! YIKES! was already taken--Hmmmm, same patina though--definitely a mod from the past!

Maxie

Larry--That is definitely the coolest thing I've seen lately! I've always wanted one of those--You have the best of two worlds--envy.
Good job!
Max

YIKES! Scary report ----

Maxie

Hey Paul--How much snow now and are you OK?-- Just checking on you!-- How in the heck do you post those silly Smilies?!

Maxie

Hey AZ--A little more on raising and lowering the cylinder. When brainstorming how to make a two-stroke go faster one thinks of raising port height--why not just raise the cylinder? Of course the piston will never reach the top causing loss of compression. Despite all this about the time 125 Hodakas...

Man, that is a nice catch--I'm envious for sure!

Max

Nice tech piece AZ. Not only that, removing the base gasket changes the piston port timing by that much. Closing the exhaust port early adds even more compression--It all adds up. Good job.

Max

Fun trivia--I think the 90s were blank-- all 100s were labeled and blank again starting with the 94 Wombat. Hmmmm--testing the old brain.

Maxie

You might check out the previous post "Wombat 94A Rims" in December 14. We discussed the painting plastic with Krylon paint for plastic. It wasn't perfect by any means but it does work and seems to be durable. There are some before and after shots. I agree with Richard that new might be th...

Sounds like you are set--the O-ring on the control shaft rarely fails--save it and install it with new shifter springs when the time comes. As for the oil I use Mobil 1 synthetic Racing 4T 10W-40 in everything with a wet clutch. I'm sure the Guys (and Gals) will have some other excellent choices. la...

Funny Clarence--I did edit it once more which answers your question--You guys are sharp, don't miss a thing--

Maxie

Dale--It's OK--After sending the post I was in bed and remembered exactly that very thing. I had to edit mine in pajamas last night(LOL). I think our paths crossed in the night.
Cheers
Maxie
