Re: 74 CB360 w/pics First $750 takes it.

Well, due to me not only leaving my job, but moving back to Texas, I am forced to sell my bike. I am really just getting an idea of how much I should ask for it, but any serious offers will be considered. First, here is a pic: and here is the link to the build...

Have new inline fuel filters and have been working before and after carb cleaning. Carb boots are ok, floats work and are set to manual specs. Haven't checked the valves, but that's such a pita, unless there is some easy way I don't know of. How do I do a carb sync with a drill bit? The idle...

Re: CB360 running issues (now w/pics!) Ok, so I got the bike running, but it won't stay that way. I let it sit overnight and, in typical fashion, today it starts after 2 kicks. It runs kinda rough and hovers around 1600 RPM with the occasional jump to 3k. I don't touch it for several...

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17 Yep, those are Roadriders but I wouldn't know how they are because I can't get my damn bike running. Help me out guys. I've done/have all the things on this list: These are with battery fully charged, btw. You've seen my pod/pipe setup. + Fully...

Soooo I let the bike sit overnight. Turn the idle screws to the richest setting (all the way in), two kicks and it runs. Let it idle at 1800 for about a min/two w/no problems. It starts to surge to near 3-4k and dips to about 1500 intermittently. I take the choke off a little and it dies...

Yeah, the points are ok. Brand new when I bought the bike 6 months ago. I cleaned them and checked the gaps on em. I have a strong spark and the wires all have good connections.

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17 Maybe so, but I can't exactly give myself the title. Chris, we are all looking forward to your RD400 brat. You mean a second rider or just me? I fit fine, but I'm a skinny @ss. 5'11'' and 140 soaking wet with a boney @ss and chicken legs to boot...

Well, the bike won't even start now. Probably 30+ kicks and troubleshooting w/no start. After cleaning the plugs thoroughly and spraying some carb cleaner in the carbs, it sputtered but didn't start. If I'm running lean with the pods and pipes, should I just completely close the idle screws...

The plugs are what I would call fluffy, not shiney by any stretch. The smoke is sparse, and that was only when I gave it some pretty good throttle. I haven't rejetted because I thought there were a few guys on here w/360s running pods and straights, like chrisf, that didn't have to rejet.

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17 I got them from these guys: http://www.loudfastugly.com/chrmandacc/MDI/mdi.htm Decent prices and fast shipping. I just sent them an e-mail with what length I wanted, the year/make/model of the bike, my height/weight, and whether I wanted a firm or...

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17 All black can be done well, and I might even do the same on my next bike, but I just thought this one needed some color. It's just a bit lighter than the face gauges.

So I have some running issues. It starts, but won't stay running. I do have issues getting it started, too, but not as severe. After 5-8 kicks, it will begin to fire and eventually start up. Then I have to rev it a bit to keep it going which produces some white smoke. It idles at about...

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 6/29 Well, she's done. Now I just have to get her running (and keep running) and rideable.

Thank you! Lucky for me I have a spare caliper. I just have to extract the old siezed bleeder from it w/out f'ing up the threads.

Aha! So since I completely removed the old bleeder by drilling and retapped it w/no taper, a bleeder won't seal and therefore won't work no matter what I do?

I considered that. That was the only thing I could think of, but how to unclog it? Did I drill too much out of the caliper and somehow prevent the bleeder valve from closing when turned? I guess the better way to put it is that I can't get the valve to close. It doesn't matter how hard I...
