    Honda CB360 big bore engine: no spark

    Ditched the starter motor (because race bike) already, so that sucks. Larry from Dynatek is also running out of ideas, suspecting the Pamco's to blame. Is there some sort of Pamco fault finding manual out there? Pamco Pete isn't active on here anymore, is he?

    Honda CB360 big bore engine: no spark

    Right, so I tested all the wires off the pick up for resistance. They all vary, but from one pick up unit part to the next, the Ohmage is the same. So that would rule out a broken connection there. Would anyone know what kind of voltages I should be measuring with the ignition turned on? Also...

    Honda CB360 big bore engine: no spark

    No spark at all, no. Plugs out against the cylinder head, tried different boots, different plugs. Nothing. Going from irk miller's comment, I've taken the Pamco pick-ups off. Had a bit of an issue with routing the wiring before, might've jiggled something loose... Out comes the multimeter again.

    Honda CB360 big bore engine: no spark

    I've been piecing together a CB360 big bore engine, 383cc now. She's all ready to go, apart from the fact I can't seem to get a spark from it. Found a donor engine, taking the old engine out, swapping things like the Pamco ignition straight over. Dyna Coils are entirely new to the bike, but...

    CBigBore 360 engine in the making

    That's what I thought. An extra once over never hurt... Went back together without much grief. Got a bit excited again and pulled an all nighter. Eventually I might've gone in a bit too quick. Wouldn't fire up, but then again I haven't even checked wether I've got a spark or not I'll...

    CBigBore 360 engine in the making

    Already started taking it apart again. No way around it... Completely forgot to check. Gear selector was acting up and I was so excited by that I got going again too hastily. That's some serious ADD for ya Engine came out pretty easily, the bike's become considerably easy to take apart by...

    Still very much considering a 520 chain conversion. Anyone here have any experience with that?

    CBigBore 360 engine in the making

    My oil and plugs were supposed to come in on Saturday, but nothing so far even. Tomorrow by the looks of it. Thought I'd swap the sprocket nuts for a few titanium nuts I had left lying around. Another 28 grams off the drive

    CBigBore 360 engine in the making

    What started out as a dumb idea, worked out perfectly. Pretty much useless and invisible, but also quite simple and mod. Collared self lubricating bearing. Had to open the case up to 16mm. Bit crude, but it worked just fine. Speaking of crude... ‍♂️ Bearing cost me 1,10 euro. Half an...

    CBigBore 360 engine in the making

    Me too! Still need to bolt everything down to the frame right, but as a working from home lunch break activity, I hooked up my Dynatek coils. Charlie's Place brackets make fitting easy, but they're not spectacularly well finished. Might take the rough edges off. Dyna Coils have been on the...

    After taking the old engine out, I once again couldn't help myself... So, that's in!

    CBigBore 360 engine in the making

    Okay, so that went easier than expected. Cleaned up the headers and thought I might start loosening the engine mounting bolts. And voila... Couldn't help myself. Now only need to find the time to mount the big bore motor
