I’m trying to tune my rebuilt cb360. The engine is running poorly. It will only start from cold with starter fluid. When I had it warmed up today it died when I tried turning on the choke. I have also been adjusting the mix valve ratio, but haven seen significant rpm change as I turn the screw...

Okay I thought the problem was the starter sprocket, so I ordered a replacement. Still no luck. At this point everything is new except for the roller ramps. I confirmed by turning the stator back and forth that the clutch was installed in the correct direction. It catches as low speed...

So i pulled the stator again just to see what was going on. The new bearings and springs still looked good - I just installed them yesterday. I made sure I installed the stator back on extra tight, pounded it on a little with a rubber mallet. Video shows it catching slightly better, but...

I tried the starter with the case open. see attached video and photos.

Is it possible I started it enough with the bad bearings that I wore down the sprocket? It’s still smooth with no pitting, but I can’t think of anything else it would be. I did use some assembly lube when putting it together. Not sure if that maybe reacted differently than normal oil. Sent...

I removed the sprocket, bearings, and springs when I was kick start. I just replaced the springs, caps, and bearings with brand new for the starter clutch, which is why I can’t figure out why it’s still slipping. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I attached a video of what it sounds like as I press the starter. Everything looks fine internally.

I recently finished a cafe build and engine rebuild for my 1976 CB360T. I originally did kickstarter only, but added the starter back in. When I first went to try the starter it buzzed for a while, then finally ran after multiple tries but sounded horrible. Like a bucket of bolts. Engine didn’t...

Thanks guys! I set the points correctly last night using this method. I've been working on this bike for a couple years but I'm still learning exactly how everything works. Makes a lot more sense now. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I'm taking the reading off the point itself using just a continuity light. I don't have the points plugged in or power to the system since I'm kickstart only. Could the problem be that I'm just using a continuity light and not a voltage tester light with engine power? When the manual says...

Back to square one..... I tried rotating the bushing on the point advancer 180 degrees but I'm still getting left continuity on F and right continuity on LF. The only difference is that that left point now has continuity on the right compression stroke. Is it possible that the...

Okay, I took another look at that advancer, and the bushing actually comes off, and I can rotate it 180 degrees! I don't remember rotating this why I took it off the bike, but maybe that is one of the many reasons why the bike didn't run. I'm going to put it back together and check the...

Thanks for the fast reply. The advancer is aligned to the notch in the end of the cam shaft, and as far as I can tell is installed right. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

So I'm completing a rebuild of my cb360 engine and I ran into this issue while adjusting my points. When using a continuity light the left point is lighting close to the F mark and the right point is lighting at close to the LF mark...... Backwards from normal! The light then goes off at LF...
