    CJ360 Carburettor help

    I have been having problems with my carbs for a while. She starts terrible, idles terrible, and is generally crap until warm. When she's warm, she is great. Last fall I changed out a low speed jet, and immediately ran better than before when just cruising about 50 km/h. Unfortunately didn't...

    1983 Nighthawk 450 extra carb bits. WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

    Excuse me for blatant noobery here, I'm stumped about a project. I'm cleaning a set of carbs for a friend and my kit included a part that I don't remember falling out during thediassembly. The low speed jet had a wad of dark green junk in it and also a pile right below it, so i suspect it...

    1977 CJ360 gauge rejuvenation

    I had a few issues to address when it comes to my gauges. In no particular order, they aren't well lit. Also I'm Canadian and so I ordered new decals from Sparck Moto with big km/h numbers instead of mph. Also I didn't really like the faded dark green stock colors. I didn't take any pics before...

    1980 KZ550 Ltd. what do I do with this?

    Its a yard find. The PO said it was stored in a shed and was winterized before it was forgotten. I don't believe them anymore. The engine was covered in dirt. The carbs are filthy inside and out. There is rust EVERYWHERE, even on the pistons from what I can see. I thought it would be a quick...

    Cj360 split header collars

    Are the cb360 collars interchangeable with the cj360? They are different part numbers but has anyone had a chance to compare or switch them out?

    CJ360 Fuel dripping from Exhaust Port on Startup

    As the topic says, I see drops of fuel coming out of my exhaust at the port in the head on start up on the right hand cylinder. This is the same cylinder that sputters and runs intermittently. Fuel drips stopped once the bike got a little bit warmer. Decided to go for a ride anyway. About 10...

    Bought a R/R from sparck moto and it's time to install! The new unit replaces the two separate old ones. Almost bolt-on! The old regulator bolt pattern is 1/4" narrower than the new combo unit. Well, I know how to fix this! Start by drilling the spot welds with my special attachment. Then cut...

    CJ360T Oil smells like gasoline!

    Hey guys, still working out the myriad of issues with this thing. I have been working on my CJ this spring, and I found a leak that had spilled on my garage floor over the winter. It came out of the shifter seal. I have a new seal from Honda and went about changing it. First step, drain oil...

    CJ360 cracked rear cowl

    My CJ360 came with a mangled rear cowl, so I found a replacement which is mostly intact. It has one piece of damage that needs to be repaired before I can use it, and its in a fairly high stress area. I would appreciate any advice or links to plastic repair that can work on a piece like this.

    1977 CJ360T Oil in Alternator Case normal?

    I just started working on a CJ360 for the first time. When I pulled off the alternator cover, oil came out, which I didn't expect. Is this normal or is there a bad seal in there? I've got a CB400 and there's no oil in the alternator housing. I've also been checking the parts pages and I haven't...
