Thanks for all your help guys, I just got the bike fired up and running better than before. Onto the next issue, clutch does not disengage when I pull the lever and shift to first it just dies as if the clutch lever was not ever pulled. I guess it is time to take that apart again and make sure...

Thanks, that is what I thought. I am 180 degrees out now. I swapped the yellow and blue wire to get it correct but I am not sure how it got that way if I did not remove the advancer. It may have been like that before I bought it.

Alright, thanks. This is also going to be a dumb question. Which cylinder is considered the left? Is it when you are sitting on it or looking at it? Trying to figure out if I am 180 out or not

Alright, I got the carb float issue fixed and I am now getting gas to both carbs. Next step is to start looking into the timing again using the strobe light I just purchased. My question is. When the strobe light is hooked up to the left spark plug wire I should be seeing the 'LF' lining up...

Alright, thanks guys. That is exactly what I will do. Those videos were helpful and I will see if I can find a decent light at harbor freight. Hopefully is works this time.

Thanks Sonreir, I will look at picking up a strobe light this week and checking the timing again.

The bike was running when I bought it back in November. The points were never removed since I bought it so that doesn't seem like it could be the issue. It was running fine when I got it so really nothing with the engine changed. That is what I was thing to think about. I had everything...

I double checked the compression yesterday and followed the steps to do the timing as well so I think they are good. I am not sure what else I can do to check them. Obviously no gas leaking out of the bottom of the one float bowl when the drain is loosened, right?

I got to do some more work on the bike today and after doing the timing tune and getting that working correctly I tried to start it up again and nothing. I think I have it figured out now though. I tried to drain some fuel from the bottom of the carb float bowls and the right carb is good but...

Thanks for the advice Sonreir, I will try swapping those wires as well as tuning the ignition timing this coming weekend. Hopefully that will do it.

Thanks Sonic, That is exactly what I plan on doing next. I just ran out of time yesterday while working on it and the bike is sitting in a garage that I will not be able to get to until the end of the week so I thought I would try to do some troubleshooting and research before getting back to...

I guess I should have mentioned that. Battery is brand new as well. I thought that could be the issue as well so I hooked the battery up to a charger and put it on engine start and that didn't do anything either. Here is something I just thought of, the two black wires with the white strip to...

Hey guys, I was working on getting my 1975 cl360 started over the weekend and I seem to be having issues. Here is a list of what I have checked out/done so far: 1) All wiring for it to turn on and run confirmed working. 2) Cleaned carbs before putting the bike back together and I put the fuel...

Finished painting the tank today and I also got started with the wiring, throttle cables and clutch cables. Throttle and clutch is all back together now after a little work sanding the bars to make them not stick and the wiring is done enough to make the bike start but I still have to get all...

Got the engine put back into the bike, started running the wiring and painted the tank. Starting to come together now.
