Matt, I don't think he is joking...I think he is, as he said, lost.
honda CB360,
Take a deep breath, you have a lot of issues, and if I knew what they all were, and wrote all the solutions, ythe document would just be confusing.
So, take 1 issue at a time.
1. Before you go nuts, go to autozone and borrow a compression tester. You can ask how to use it when you get it. If the bike has no compression, then going further won;t pay until the compression issue is resolved. ASK for help when you get it...If you do it wrong, we may thing the motor is bad, and it may not be. Don't go to step 2 until you do this.
2. You need a good battery. A good battery that has 12.6 volts charged, and a charger, because you will run the battery down, and until the bike ius running, the battery needs a way to get charged. You don't necessarily need a motorcycle battery. I use a jumper battery for working on mine, at one time I used my trolling motor battery. If you have jumper cables, you can hook it to a car battery (but car NOT running).
3. You need 2 functioning coils. You can get some coils from e-bay pretty cheap. Good enough to use, you can replace them, if necessary , with fancy ones once the bike is running. Something like this:

4. You need a resistor cap for the plugs. And you might need plugs.
5. If the points are what was on there, get new points.
So, we get the eletrical stuff (Battery, coil plugs, a cap, and points).
Once we have the ingredients for a healthy spark, we can move forward.
Later, we will work on the fuel side. You have a bit of work ahead....Don't expect to ride it this season...Judging by the nature of your request, most of this will be a learning experience, which always takes time.
Don't rush, when you get lost, ask questions, and give us time to answer them. There are lot's of experienced people here who can help.
If you are patient, and have a little money for the parts, you can get this old girl running.
But we can't fix it overnight, so let's take it step by step. My bike was in as bad a shape as yours, it took me over a year to get her roadworthy. Another 6 months to get her reliable for everyday use.
So maybe this time next year, you will have her ready to ride, and can be proud of yourself for doing it yourself.
A nice intro from you would help. Your general location, some clues to your experience. Let's us know if you should do certain steps or have them done. Someone here may live near you and be able to visit. The site is full of enthusiastsd, and we all love a success story, and like to help.
Feel better now? Let us know what you plan to do, and do the reading and research suggested.
PS: Do you have a title for the bike? If not, it isn't really yours legally....don;t go through the pain and time of working on it until you know it is really yours.
