Wanted / Re: XL175 kickstart spindle

Unfortunately they came out of the factory made from plasticine and loved to shear off. Was a couple of new ones early this year in Australia . Nice fellow seller wanted $1000 each.... Good Luck, best bet is to find a rare bottom end with shaft still in it.

Purchase old suitcase from local tip shop, open and half fill with wet concrete (a thick slump mix is preferred) place peg or cog on top of concrete then add remainder till full .Close lid ,reopen a week later, Job done.

Wanted / Re: Hodaka tank

« on: June 25, 2017, 09:00:51 PM »

They are about , I sold * the 67+... I had to Ray Ryan some time back but others have them. Gentleman in Bendigo ( John Mc.....) if known to you or your mates would have one I dare say. Tim754.
* Sold them for roughly $2 each....
PS you need the fatter tank with the small red type tank cap. Most of the tanks fit but the most common Dirt Squirt 100 would be easiest to find and bolt on. Trust me I did used to play with Hodakas a fair bit.
