What a difference! It came out killer! Congrats!

Re: First Bike/Build- 1974 CB360 Quick start! I have the same bike, and just missed out on one on ebay. Is this the one?

Looks great! I dig it. A little wiring and taking that first ride. KEEP IT UP! That seat and tank looked very cool bare metal, and would be cool cleared for a steam punk look.

It get's worse the more or higher I rev it.. I was thinking something might be "stuck" .. or I didn't do something right.. I have not done the valves, or compression, next in line :)

It starts and idles, although irregular idle. I will give it a spray to see what happens. I hope it's something easy like that. Like I said, don't hesitate to bluntly point out the obvious. Thanks I'll post up what I find on that.

It wasn't running at all. I got most of it in boxes and putting it back together. The carbs were "supposedly" cleaned before I bought the bike, and all it needed was electrical done. After finding the other work done by the PO, I decided to redo the carbs.. Sorry

So I'm having what I think is a issue with my 1974 CB360. I taken apart the carbs, soaked them in chem carb cleaner for about 2 hours, rinsed them and blew them out with compressed air. I put them back on and I'm getting coughing and spitting out of the carbs, and back firing. I regapped the...

yes, soaked the carbs, rinsed them and blew everything out, diaphragms are good to go.

I was thinking the same and I was going to check the intake rubber (not sure what it's called right off hand). I'm going to pull the plugs and see what I see, if it's running too lean I guess that would show. O well I will checkit out and take a look. No mods, just a stock CB360.....

No love.. I backed the air fuel mixture screws out until they were ready to come out.... still spitting through the carbs and backfiring out the exhaust.... I regapped the points, set the timing (static).. it does start but snap crackles and pops. The higher the rpm the more it does it. I made...

I have just taken both carbs apart, soaked them in chem clean for about an hour and a half to 2 hours, rinsed them and blew air through all the nooks/crannies/ etc... then put in the kits. I'm new to motorcycle tuning... well everything, but will check the air fuel mixture tomorrow. Thanks!

Lemon juice and cola.... sounds like a good start to a drink ;) So I have been steadily chipping away at the bike and getting it together. I got it started and it was only running on one cylinder.. so I thought it was time to rebuild the carbs, completed those put them on the bike... started...

Yup, I believe ACV has a higher acidity percentage (4%). I haven't tried white vinegar.... if you're not doing anything with it, give it a shot and let us know how it worked for you. You may have found something that would work perfectly fine in tanks. Post up some pictures of your tank.

Sounds good man, I appreciate it. I'll check it out. I have one of my carbs apart already and was scratching my head when the diagrams didn't match. I got the bike started a couple of days ago, but it was only running on on cylinder. I got spark, but no gas. I found a sticking float needle. Any...

Thanks! I'm really happy how the tank came out. I was pretty worried when the tank was delivered. I soaked it overnight with 3 gallons of apple cider vinegar (ACV) (filled to the top and cap closed) it does expand a bit (I wasn't worried because my gasket was torn and the cap is vented). I...
