I'm posting here partly because I'm not sure where else to go... Does anyone out there have a c200 and know these bikes really well? There are a few distinct differences between my (1965) c200 and every other c200 I've ever come across. I need to locate a horn badge and speedometer for the...

The primary solenoid wire gets too hot to touch without burning my finger (my gauge for testing temperature) after maybe 10 seconds. I have not rebuilt /serviced the starter @hillsy. It does seem to crank slower than it should with a charged battery. It sounds like (from your comments) that it...

...pic for clarity: The red wire (including another, smaller gage positive wire to the in-line fuse that was part of your loom) is jumped to 12v car battery with jumper cables, the black (SORRY, NOT NEGATIVE) wire goes to the starter. I had you make me a black cable for the starter so the...

...I can see why my previous post caused some confusion @sonreir - I could have worded my description better to describe the issue accurately. The solenoid is wired as you describe. I realize from others that I should have been using a much heavier set of jumper wires (at least the same gauge...

...also worth mentioning: I'm trying to start the bike by jumping from the solenoid and ground wires with (maybe undersized?) leads to a 12V car battery rather than the lithium battery so I don't stress the expensive (eventually permanent lithium) battery. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm working on starting a 360 after a top-end rebuild and new wiring harness (and ground-up build in general). When I turn the bike over using leads to a 12v car battery, the wires in the loom that connect to the battery (via leads) get extremely hot after a few rotations. The loom has a...

Next up- initial assembly: With all of the components timed together, the cam sprocket bolts can now be installed. (Note: in the previous photos, the sprocket was installed on the cam with the bolts "finger-tight", so that the entire rotating assembly could be rotated/adjusted). Now I'll...

Timing the cam to the rest of the rotating assembly: With the cam resting in place and the cam sprocket loose (not attached to the cam, but holding the chain), I first slowly rotated the crank counter-clockwise with a 14 mm socket on a breaker bar so that the "LT" mark on the stator aligns with...

For the sake of wrapping up the subject of the thread: The incorrectly installed thrust washer was the culprit (and I'm glad I had a symptom to make me realize it!) The rotor and plate for the Pamco ignition now seats properly with no interference. Now... Although a bit off topic (and I...

This was on my checklist before reassembly - but definitely worth noting @frogman. I already filled the case to capacity with oil, so I bought a syringe and some clear tube so I can suck some oil out of the bottom end and squirt oil into the oil baths. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great catch indeed! I could have been chasing my tail on that for a while (or worse)...Thrust washer is now (correctly) installed. I'll continue to update as I set the static timing/reassemble the rocker assembly/go through the process of setting up the ignition. Sent from my iPad using...

I saw his name come up a number of times, but (naively) figured he was just "some guy" that knows these ignitions and didn't want to bother some dude I don't know (assumed it was a bigger operation). Thanks for the info - I should be all set, but will complete the job and report back with...

Absolutely right @turnturtle. This was a mistake on my part when completing the top end rebuild. I was so sure I hadn't missed anything... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just posted a few minutes ago before seeing your response @turnturtle... I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I'll refer back to the factory manual to be sure I understand before doing anything else. The question remains (for anyone) though, who actually makes these PAMCO units? Do...

I'm hesitant to start shaving the screw heads because the difference in clearance isn't minor and I assume the gap is relatively important. Any idea what the gap between the rotor and screw-heads (which serve as a contact) should be? MORE IMPORTANTLY- Does anyone know who actually makes...

I'm setting up a Pamco electronic ignition for a cb360 and have run into an issue that I just can't seem to account for (with no luck searching DTT / elsewhere): According to The instructions, the included rotor should be a direct-swap using the original hardware (just a bolt w/ washer into the...

Sew pattern worked out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

More photos of seat development for now. Next steps: get upholstery done, tear down the assembly in the photos, then powder the frame and resume building... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Here's my "bike" Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks! I just took some time to re-read my (admittedly very old) build thread from the start and can't believe how much I've learned from everyone on DTT. Can't wait for reassembly. I'll continue to share progress now that progress is being made... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
