Back in the day we bought a 1974 cb360 for little to no money from someone that couldn't understand a problem. His claim was that it would get about 10-20 minutes into a drive and just die and remain unstartable for some time. He was confident that this was an electrical issue but I'm unsure that it was blamed on spark. When I inspected it after buying I noticed the rectifier was unplugged when I went to clean the carbs. Thinking that was the issue, I plugged it back in and started riding. Took it around town during the summer and it ran great. Finally took it on a long trip and sure as shit, just died out on the road and wouldn't start for damn near 20 minutes. Finally after kicking the hell out of it; it finally started and i took off immediatly. Came back and popped off the stator cover and it was damn near filled, which I didn't think was that big of a deal but thought it could be a possibility.
That's all the details I can remember for the really investigative builders, but for the guys that have ran into the same issue,
After the engine warms up and has been running for 20+ minutes, it dies and won't start, could this be definitive of coil, excess oil in the stator, point and/or condensor failure, or some other common form of problem in spark? It's definitely not fuel and air or compression.
Thoughts?
