Wangofree said:Well, I bit the bullet and asked Viet Bac Pham from Acacia Vintage Motorcycles, Vietnam, to fabricate an electronic ignition for my CB360. It arrived in the mail yesterday. It will be awhile before I install it and check it out, but it looks like the real deal.
For $90 it seems like a bargain to avoid issues with a points based ignition. Time will tell . . .
Viet has been extremely helpful with this fabrication request. http://acaciavintagemotorcycles.com/
ridesolo said:Really interested in seeing how this unit works out for you. I've heard stories about trying to get units for 350s to work on 360s and finding one made for a 360 at a decent price sounds great.
trek97 said:OK, no breaks for you. Work! boy, work! I am excited just to see this module, simply installed. I will pee my pants when you get it properly tuned in.
trek97 said:Ooooooo ! How much longer before you can get her fired up? 1 maybe 2 days?!?!
Wangofree said:OK boys I get the message. . . no time for dawdling. ;D Waiting on UPS to deliver my truing stand today so I can get a roller and put the motor in the frame and get crackin'! We're in the middle of Winter Storm "Q" here in the midwest, so not sure if UPS will make it today. We'll see.
Frogman - No new springs. Viet takes what you send him and builds the unit from your advancer mechanism.
Frogman is a cham. I am also thinking on the spring issue. Making the spring harder will help control the engine at low rev. But luckily, the modern version of HEI has dwell control built in and it solves the spring issue. Tested on my 350, it idles at almost 1000rpmfrogman said:The reason why I asked is there will be a variable on how old and stretched the springs are between each unit. Something I think other guys like Pete are trying to cope with as well.
Then there is is the weight and size difference in the rotor that I hope they took into account as well.
NOW that is all to say that if it mattered it would, these engines are RPM monsters, they like to be reved and make hardly any power under 3k. So long as the advance doesn't hit full before that they should work fine.
