Hey guys,

Here's the skinny. Found a cb360. Dude contacted me. Went to check it out. It runs rough, one carb is leaking, didn't ride it through the gears, not sure how that is. Its in rough cosmetic shape, but seems to be almost all there (electric start button missing, no biggie).

I saw this bike for sale couple weeks ago on kijiji by an old scot. He had 2. One in good shape with no wonership, and 1 in worse shape with ownership. This guy denied buying it off the old scot, but its 99% for sure the same bike. The scot was selling it with an extra motor, which is obviously in the new guys garage now. Pretty good shape overall. My concern is why is he flipping it now. He obviously works on old bikes (has 2 750's and a 350 all in great shape in his garage).

Dude will sell it to me for $375. Its not leaking any oil that I could see. Will need a mild carb job. New seat, tires, some other cosmetic stuff, but seems pretty solid all around.

Should I?
 
ask if you can remove the camshaftcover for a moment, to inspect the camshaft journals.
Traces of silicon gasket are also not a good sign....

If its not leaking oil it's not runnin right haha! I bought my 360 in about the same condition cleaned the carbs and it ran good through all the gears then did a top end rebuild and now it runs like a top.
 
Right on... well, with 12k, is it reasonable to assume the transmission works alright? I mean, I plan to have him run it through the gears on the center stand next time im there anyways.
