It was the shifter, specifically the ball receiver springs
that got "skronked" (smashed) and had to be replaced
to it would shift again.

There was a special tool to install the ball receiver kit.

I could take apart an Ace 90 down to the transmission
and reassemble it in less than 1/2 hour I was so familiar
with them.

Amateur racing was fun but too easy. I used to clean up.

The job Johnnys




I did MX, enduro, trials, hare scrambles, hare and hound,
flat track, drag racing and hill climbing. I'm perhaps the
only person ever to top the Widowmaker in SLC with a
90cc Hodaka. (Bored to 100cc and ported and polished
and carbureted to run like a 175cc machine).


If you did own a Hodaka, what was the 'weak link' on that engine, the
one thing that broke most often?


Even got the US Army to sponsor my team.

National racing is another league altogether. It teaches
on the meaning of the phrase -"not quite good enough".

Oh, almost forgot, I did do the Trans Am in Fla. in '75, got beat and
partied too much.
