TECHNICAL TIPS & SERVICE HELP |
|
 Put a line between two teeth. Starting there is the first groove. Not counting that groove count four more grooves and again put a line. Continue to do this all the way around. There should be seven equal spaces. |
Using a 1/4" rattail ( round) file each one of these seven spots where the seven lines are to the bottom of each groove. Take the clamp off and deburr each of the 1/4" filed slots. |
 When installing these plates in the clutch, these slots should go where the bolts go through the clutch. As shown |
 This last photo shows what the clutch should look like when going back together. Also the tool needed to finish the work. |
Here are photos and descriptions describing on how to blueprint your Hodaka clutch for much easier use. Any further questions please feel free to email me at Paul@StrictlyHodaka.com |

As you can see from his photo here with the PABATCO men ( Al's on the left) in Harry's shop. Al's work is absolutely 1st class and I use Al myself all the time for the cylinder boring on my bikes. He has access to Ed, Harry and Curt Alexander all the time. So there is no one better to know how to specifically bore a Hodaka cylinder or rebuild a Hodaka crank. He also welds the cranks upon request.Al has his own stock of pistons and ring sets plus all of our rod kits so the customer does not have to wait for him to receive parts from back East. Give my buddy ol' Al a call and tell him Paul sent you. |

Helpful Tips
Devoted to help solve some of the most frequently asked hodaka questions
"Roger Lippiat has figured a simple way to repair those hard to find upper coils. Thank you Roger for the work and thanks to Ed Chesnut for the photo !"
1. Simple timing setting for bikes with points:
This will work for all Hodaka models that use points. For photo purposes we used an Ace 100 motor I was working on, but you will find the same markings on your other models.
First remove your magneto cover so you can view your flywheel/stator assy. ( Photo A ) You will find a mark on the
outside of your flywheel along with two marks on your left inside case. The two marks on your left inside case are located at the 11:00 position and the 12:00 position. Disregard the mark at the 12:00 position and only work with the 11:00 mark. You can see the flywheel mark and 11:00 mark highlighted in red by us for easier viewing purposes. Line up the two marks as seen in the above photo. Once this is done you will be able to look into the stator assy through the opening in the flywheel. ( Photo B ) You will need to loosen the screw to the right of the points by only a 1/4 turn max. There is a slotted area that is part of the back of the points which when fitted with a small flat head screwdriver and turned slightly will open or close the points depending on which way you turn it (clockwise or counterclockwise). ( Photo C ) You can see this in the highlighted red area in the photo. You will need to use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the points. Most Hodaka models are .012" - .015" gap. I use .013" which works well for me. Once the gap is set you will need to retighten the screw that you loosened. Sometimes when you go to retighten the screw the points will close on you. If this happens you might try and reloosen the screw again set your gap this time to .015" and retighten the screw. This may bring you to the .013" gap once it is tight. When you do tighten the screw be sure to double check your point gap. Happy Riding!!
