Joe, when using a points file, you keep the points closed while you file the points. That way the top and bottom stay flat to each other, just an FYI.

@watchdogu.s.a.8973 6 месяцев назад

That's right and my old points file was about the same thickness as a metal fingernail file.

@@billybarr7443 What lies? My daughter was about 3 years old and we purchased a helmet for her and a riding suit. OK, it was a snow suit but it looked like a riding suit. I would take her to day care every morning. Then I would ride back home and pick up my wife and ride from South San Jose to Cupertino. Then do the opposite in the evening. Cheapest mode of transportation I ever owned. However, I did replace it later with a Yamaha XS500C.

He did not want me riding on the streets although I had been riding on the streets all the time. I remember the top speed was 56 mph. Today I own a Yamaha FJR with 13 times the engine displacement.

Man Joe you come across some beauties, This was my first bike back in 1974 when I was 15 years old I saved up $250.00 and bought it from a guy whose son had it for only 6 months after buying it brand new and his son died. I told him I wanted it and even signed an agreement to buy it for $250.00 and he held it for one month for me. I came back and he was like well are you ready? I was so excited I slipped and said "Hell ya, oh sorry" He laughed and said you deserve it, son, Made my day. He came out with the keys and signed over the title and brand new Bell helmet and the tool kit with owner's manual, I shook his hand gave him the money, and said "Oh by the way sorry for the loss of your son, he said thank you and we are glad you will enjoy it and take care of it. loved that bike my next bike to own was a Hodoka Combat Wombat 250 that thing was a beast! lol

"COMBAT WOMBAT!!" I wanted one SO bad. Everybody had Yamahas, Suzuki, and Hondas but, I wanted to be different and get a Hodaka. Red and chrome. Beautiful. No, I never did. My dad gave me a car so, I never bought a bike.

@teejay3426 6 месяцев назад

Had a regular Wombat, a 125 on/off road. Also had Suzuki RM's and Honda CR'S (CR 480R put me in the hospital for a week) Hodaka's were FAST, easily holding their own with the big 4. The trick was not throwing the chain and breaking the shift cover.

Regardless of what acid you put in the tank you are still left with bare metal that has to be coated or it'll come back immediately. Just put some muriatic acid in there that you can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot by the gallon and it will come out as clean as the day it was made however you will still need to coat the bare metal but muriatic acid will do the job in minutes versus hours or days with vinegar

I watch the James Condon RU-vid site as well. He has salvaged some very nasty rusty gas tanks by using a couple fist fulls of small nuts and bolts (1/4” size) and water and shaking the tank numerous times. He repeats this 3 or 4 times and dumps tank of water & fasteners. He dries the water out of the tank and then uses vaporust, letting it set 3 or 4 days. He then dumps the vaporust and dries tank with long pickup probe and paper towels. He is very successful with this method. Good luck buddy. I enjoy your videos.👍

Not good at all doesn’t cost that much to put new oil in before you fired up to run. But other than that, keep up the good work.

Until the engine runs if the oil looks like oil..... get the engine started, run it for a short time, dump the old oil, clean the centrifugal filter on the end of the crankshaft.... and ride on for 100 miles. Then dump the pint of oil...and pour in fresh once again.

@anemone104 6 месяцев назад

XL185 motor will go straight in. Handling is 'interesting' as the headstock will flex. You can brace it, (and the single downtube) to calm it down, but it needs better brakes. A front end from a CB175 will go on with the 2LS brake. Built one for my Mum (really) but her knees went after a couple of years, she gave it back and I had an offer I couldn't refuse for the XL185 motor from a guy who wanted to race it, so away it went.

Joe, Lisle makes a really nice, small auto center punch. It uses a spring to shoot the punch out gently. I've found it works perfectly for the float pin when they are stuck. I support the other side with a block of wood and it usually gets it right out. Hope that helps man.

I probably put 100,000 miles on it in a couple summers. I rode the wheels off of it. Then we got a couple mid-late 80's Honda Four Trax 200 SX's..... 2WD with the giant balloon tires, where the tires and your back were the suspension.

A great commuter bike back in the day, would run for years with minimum maintenance, really reliable and would just about do 70 mph. Great job getting it running.

I had a similar engine in the Honda TL125 trials bike 1976, I believe it as a timing chain which can go slack , I think my tensioner wore out and the chain went slack and was scraping the inside a bit, Not 100% sure as someone else did the repair, but generally very reliable.
