Thanks! I think I am going to just fabricate and have someone weld new brackets on.

I took my CB360 frame to a welding shop get a few tabs welded on and the retaining cut out of the passenger peg bracket. When I went to pick it up they kindly loaded up the frame in the back of my truck. Once I got home I noticed that the whole flat portion of the bracket was cut off. The...

Really? I thought I saw some on Z1. Did Honda just decide to do some goofy sizes in the 70's? I checked them after my short ride and they were still there. I should have new gasket done this afternoon.

I got it firing on both cylinders again. It backfires every now and then. It needs a carb sync so I am going to get some adapter needles and do that as soon as possible. Here is what I did -Backed out the Idle Limiter about 1-1/2 turns from bottoming out -Verified timing was correct -Pulled...

Will do that in the morning. Beforehand, I will fire it up and spray a bit of starter fluid on the left side and listen for changes in combustion. Okay I might check those out. If I do get some, I will probably upgrade to some quality air filters too. I am studying mechanical engineering.

PJ - Thanks for the honesty. What I meant was the the Idle Limiter was one turn from being fully tight. I was seriously considering getting Mikuni carbs before my engine arrived. Once I get my last two paychecks I will probably get some of those and sell my current carbs. What are the pros and...

Sonreir - No I haven't pulled off the points and stator cover yet to check. I will do that after my morning class tomorrow. PJ - Yeah I figured with the stacks, but on the last engine it "ran." Also if I were to keep them what jetting should I use with stock pipes? Unfortunately when I got the...

What are the procedures for that? I have the Factory Service Manual, and I didn't see it in there (though, I could have easily missed it).

Re: CB360 Slow Acceleration (DEAD CYLINDER) So I check the spark plugs and valves and this is what I found that I have a clean spark plug and moving valves. So, this must mean a carb problem. Here are some pictures.

So I did some checking around today. First, battery was pretty damn low. Now she has a fresh charge. Secondly, the left cylinder is getting spark, BUT the exhaust is pretty damn cold. I think the left side is acting like a big air pump. everything looks as though it is properly wired, but I will...

Thanks guys. I will check the timing tomorrow and make sure it is actually firing on all cylinders. I don't have anything to check compression, but I will look into the valves.

Hello everyone, I need a bit of your expertise. I found a replacement engine for my CB360 and finally got it running and went for a ride today. While riding the bike is very slow to accelerate and I really have to gas it to make sure it won't die when starting from a full stop. Even when I get...

Another question for all of you. I am going to have quite a bit of black, so should I have some matte black like on this bikie http://b296d35169b22ec514a7-3f0e5c3ce41f2ca4459ddb89d451f8d9.r21.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Cafe-Racer-Dreams1.jpg Matte on the fender and engine. Maybe...

Re: Powder Coat and Pain Colors, help me out ladies and gentlemen! That SR is sexy! Was it rattle canned or powder coated?

A while back my engine blew on my cb360 and unfortunately it has been sitting in storage the past few months. Fast forward to today and I have cash, found a motor and giving this bike the proper treatment it deserves. Hopefully this week it will be getting powder coated and I am thinking about...
