I will definitely try that, thank you!
When I was riding i also noticed I started running on the right cylinder only. When I went to figure out what the problem was, the left side wasnt getting any spark. I found that the spark plug cable had rested against the fins on the engine and burned straight through and was contacting the actual wire itself. Luckily I had another coil on hand, replaced it.
This is where my stupidity starts...
I got it replaced, turned the key over to test everything and there was no lights/no power. The fuse was blown, wasn't sure why. I had a trickle charger plugged into the battery so I unplugged it, tried again. This time the new fuse didnt blow, but as soon as I turned the kill switch over to start the fuse popped.
So now this means something is grounding and it shouldn't be, but where. With my infinite amount of stupidity I thought "I cant find the problem, so i will accelerate the problem and find smoke"....
I put a 30 amp fuse in, smoke ensued. Found I pinched the black/white power wire for the coils that runs all the way to switch housing. Toasted the switches, toasted the wire.
Now gotta fix all those things.
In conclusion, Honda cb360's are a menacing plague on the people that own them (especially me because of stupid) and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

Been having some trouble with my bikes clutch. I can and have adjusted it many times before with no problem, but now when I try to turn the adjuster on the clutch cover it doesn't ever reach a point of tension (if that makes sense). Any ideas? It's a new clutch cable, so is it possible that the cable itself is to long?
Thank you
Thank you
From what you describe it sounds like the issue. You didn't lose that little ball bearing that goes into the actuator mechanism, did you?
You sure you have the actuator assembled correctly? That doesn't sound right. It would have to be crazy long to not get tension at all.

No, I am not sure. I can't find a good diagram for it in the fsm. The weird part is that I have had it working properly before, I took the bike apart (never took the actuator assembly apart) to repaint and refinish some things and put it back together and this is the only thing I can't get right.
My first suspicion, which is pretty common in here, is to have the adjustor in the cover adjusted backwards.

The adjuster in the cover? Do you mean the actual bolt to turn and adjust tension? part 121 in photo

That's the one.
That's your clutch adjustment. My suspicion is that is out of adjustment.

What do you mean? Sorry I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to figure it out. Thank you for your help, per usual.
I have tried adjusting it (turning the bolt ccw until you feel tension, then the 1/4 cw then locking the nut down). But it just never reaches that tension point and I can screw the bolt all the way in. When I start the bike and i can put it in gear, its like the clutch isnt actuating at all.

Have you checked to see if the bearing is missing inside the actuator? Take the cover off. Confirm the bearing is still there. Put the lever adjuster bolt in the middle. Loosen the adjuster locknut on the cover and screw the adjuster all the way clockwise. The actuator inside the cover should be pointed down as it's being pulled by the spring. Put the cover on. Turn the adjuster screw counter clockwise until you feel clutch pressure. Turn it clockwise until pressure releases, then turn it 1/8 turn ccw. Pull the clutch lever against the grip. Adjust the bottom cable adjuster out until the clutch lever just reaches the perch. If that doesn't fix ya, then we need to dig deeper.

Ball bearing is still there. So Is everything else.
Did everything you listed a few times, and still not right. I am not sure if I can explain this over the internet, but usually when you turn the adjuster to just feel the tension its almost like you should feel it like a spring type of tension lol. But right now it just comes to a hard stop. (This could be different for every motorcycle but thats how this one has felt in the past).
Also, when I turn the adjuster all the way clockwise the actuator does not go past 90 degrees and is leaning towards the top.
