Well got it today. Doesn't start but most of the electrics work but it still smells of old gas and carbs leak gas. Looks like new plug but I would say I have work to do to get it to run. Front brake drum is frozen up. Looks like the right air box is incomplete so I prob will go with pods. Might need some input on jetting the carbs
Call me. I got started on rearsets at 4:30 this morning...so I am up. Let me know when I can come out to see this diamond in the rough.
I am still laughing about the fuel lines.
I need to do some cleaning of the garage and organizing some space for parts before I even get started. Only thing it's missing is the side covers. PO said he cleaned carbs but he never touched the slides. Didn't even open them and then after seeing the fuel lines I have no doubt the are not right. There is hardly any corrosion on this bike. I have no doubt it will run just have to get at it. By next week stop by after work to check it out.
So just upon visual inspection the choke lever is bent so you cannot take it off choke, there is lamp cord wire clipped under a fuse in its holder looks like feeding the tail lite , and NO oil on the dip stick!
Awesome, I'm glad this one found a good home, I'd have snagged this one for myself if I did not already have another project bike waiting for me. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I have an orange set of cb360 side covers for you if you want them.
use ngk b8es plugs...advance auto in urbana. and 5 or 10 ohm caps. most guys seem to have 5, I am running 10. Ive been told 10s are best for stock coils.
motorcyclesuperstore.com has pretty good prices on caps.
ive seen guys cut float pins out of coat hangers. Or PJ will make you a pair.
Thanks trek97. Do you mean 5 k or 10k ohms? I didn't like the ones on there and I had 3 old ones still good from the kaw so I put them on. The ol ones just didn't go on well.
Well guys finally got feeling better(been sick for almost a week) and got the carbs clean rinsed the tank out and some fresh gas. Tried to fire it up and no luck. I pulled the plugs and they are brand new. I don't think the PO got this to run. So where next? I guess the coils and the points. I pulled each plug and to the best of my ability is tried kicking the bike while grounding the plugs and I did not see any spark. Pulled the points cover which I know very little about and the screws were loose as a goose and a little buggered up. Where do I start? Also while I had the plugs out one at a time kicking it over I seemed to have good compression holding my finger over the plug holes. Help please I would like to fire it before I tear it down. Thanks guys!
Does the bike need to be in gear when rotating the engine for timing cause mine is in nuetral because I have no center stand. I donor seem to be getting any movement on my points.
