First major trip with the bike this past weekend! Headed out into Leelanau County, MI for a day. Saw the sights and rode some really fun, scenic roads. Even stopped at ye olde aerodrome! The 360 handles remarkably well, and has a lot of get-up-and-go. I've still got some buttoning up to do...
Alright! It's been a while, but some updates: I have a running bike! Many of the things that I was told were fixed by the original tech were not. Valves were off, PO had tried to force the top of the engine off with a screwdriver, causing it to leak oil, the right side carb had a jet out of it's...
Not sure where to post this. This bike has been in my office parking lot a few times now, and I can't figure out who owns it. Does anyone know what model this is?

UPDATES: We have decided on a plan of action. Ordered some Uni filters for it and we will work from there. Kind of a shot in the dark, but since it's missing the original cases and covers for the air boxes, we don't really have any "constants" to work from. Once those are on, we will see how she...
Awesome! Sounds deceptively simple, as far as wiring is concerned. Thanks again!
As for air filters, ARE there even any suitable OEM style replacements? My issue is that it's coughing, spluttering, farting, etc because it appears to be running too lean.
Updates!
Got her over to a mechanic yesterday afternoon. Valve clearance was off, as it turns out. It is now correct. That being said, I do still have a charging issue, but thankfully, the rectifier from Sonreir is inbound. Any tips on how to combine the wiring from the separate regulator and...
That's what I'm hoping! Fingers crossed.
Side note/issue: Does anyone know what would cause a "coughing" from the carbs when I first fire it up? Little puffs of smoke coming out from there as well. Seems to get less prominent after it's been running for a bit.
Roger that. We checked it for spark, etc, but did not check to see if the wire ground out. I will dig into it this afternoon. Thanks!
Anything else I should look for?
The points wire, you say? Can you tell me more?
I've tried running it with and without the headlight on. I figured the new rectifier will only be a step forward, at this point. Plus Sonreir has very reasonable prices.
The battery was filled and then charged overnight and through the early afternoon the next day. It ran much better for the first few miles on that brand new battery, then back to the same issues.
The stator looked to be in good condition. I've ordered a new rectifier unit from Sonreir. I hope...
