Great!

where might I get one of those?

All I need is a jet needle seat for a '75 Honda CB360t. Just one. I found a company in Europe that sold the seat and needle for 51 Euro. Forget it. Anybody have any suggestions where I might find one for less? (the old one is badly marred from a rebuilt project gone wrong) Thanks in...

I am trying to revive a '75 Honda CB360t (with only 623 miles on it, interestingly), but have encountered electrical problems that are outside of my scope of understanding. I have a strong, solid spark on one side, but a weak/intermittent one on the other, UNTIL I hit about 3k rmp or so, at...

crazypj: - Thanks for the insight on the points. This thing has never been rained on (save for this week, unfortunately), so there's NO rust or other water-related deterioration on anything. - I have the full manual, and a few of the supplementals, too - Full service: once I get a halfway...

Correct; stock air filters, boxes, everything. Nor have I run it with the choke on in the slightest. Always choke OFF. While I confess that this is my first project bike and I'm learning as I go (it's an ugly, steep curve), I think that I have multiple issues here. 1. Inspecting one of the...

I checked the boots as you suggested, and there was no spike (or drop) in rpm/function. Current condition: 1. Starts, runs roughly. 2. When I disconnect the right plug wire, it runs reasonably well after I adjust the screw. 3. Periodically, when the rpms are around 2k, will rev up and hover at...

Here's the update: 1. Replaced the plugs 2. Cleaned points 3. Confirmed float level adjustments (had to fiddle with one of them) 4. Re-cleaned fuel lines, in-line filters 5. Tore down, cleaned petcock. Bike started on the first crank. New issues: 1. Idle sometimes revs on its own from idle...

I haven't disassembled the petcock yet (but do plan to eventually re-seal it), however I can see that fuel flows quite nicely through it - due largely to the fact that there are clear filters on each fuel line. I've also observed that it STOPS fuel flow just fine, too. So, to answer your...

This is my first post to this site, and I confess I'm perhaps overly proud that I "made it this far" before needing to post. I have completely rebuilt my carburetors for this bike, which were not at all corroded, but heavily clogged with old fuel deposits (the bike has only 619 miles on it, so...
