Terra Floater 2 Stroke!!!

[countstevula]

I'm freshening up this old Terra floater 2 stroke. The biggest obstacle for me will be the engine. The rest will be powder coated or replaced. New knobby tires have been ordered.

I looked on the jug and it reads 102 cc. Sweet!
On the side missing a case cover, the internals read :
"Kokusan Denki Co Made In Japan
RPM 500 - 10000
Type FA 119
NO 1F
4192"

Wonder what it means????

 

[jbrewton]

I don't know Japanese!

 

[countstevula]

I don't know Japanese!

No need! It appears to be specific to the charging system on the engine

 

[countstevula]

Knobbie tires are here. Also, first batch of parts sent to the powder coater

Wow! You're not wasting any time on this one.

Good job!

Do I see carbon fiber fenders in the future for this bike?

Kokusan Denki (denki means electric) did a lot of the ignition and generating systems in engines. Their specialty continues to be electromotive in nature.

The Type FA 119 number corresponds to the flywheel used on the Hodaka 100cc engines. More info here.

This guy might be a good resource.

I'm guessing a version of a Hodaka 4 speed. Cool bike.

That looks like a Hodaka to me ! Hodaka Ace I think was the 100cc dirt bike.

Thanks for the links, I was having trouble finding old threads of this bike.

This will be a cool rebuild because its so complete. The front rack and trailer hitch make it that much more special.

Way cool machine man. I bet it scoots along quite nicely even with those big tires.

Can you still buy the chevron style baloon tires that were common back in the 70's? I see you went with the more modern square tread pattern.

I love two strokes , you get to ride and keep the bugs away at the same time

Those racks can't be original????

Looks cool man!! keep us posted

I took off the tow bar tonight. Someone welded two bars onto the end of the frame, and the tow bar slides over the tube stock welded on the frame. Then they drilled a hole on either end of the tow bar and threaded it for a bolt like a set screw. The same engineering is seen for the rear rack.

 

[countstevula]

Pulled the seat off too. It's in beautiful shape

 

[countstevula]

How cool is this tail light?! I wonder how plentiful this particular shape and style is. No markings so far

 

[countstevula]

Took the forks off today. Bicycle headset type bearings

Up close of the head

Head removed

Making some great progress!!
