MGD's 1975 CB360T

[brewtown16]

Fellow wisconsinite here, moved from mke to burlington. I also have a 360.

 

[BlueCB360]

Welcome aboard! There are more of us on here, some in Brookfield, Tosa, others a little more north.

I'm heading to Road America this Saturday for the Vintage Races.

I don't think I''ll have my 360 finished by this weekend, so I'll be on my Hawk.

 

[BlueCB360]

Still working on the bike, but my career is getting in the way.

I'm working odd hours over at Harley Davidson, so bike progress is slow.

Here's what good old H-D likes to spend their money on. A steal wall of buzz words on the executive level.

 

[Finnigan]

Whoa I like it! Nice work

I guess sarcasm didn't come across as well as expected
Probably right saying steal instead of steel 8)

Be nice you guys... LOVE my touring Harley... All bikes are awesome.

 

[BlueCB360]

Correction: all USED bikes are awesome.

HD's retail prices are off the map.

Don't get me wrong, I will love a Harley like it was my very own Honda.

I just don't want to pay for it.


Oh, PJ, I'm always sarcastic, and a terrible speller.

 

[crazypj]

LOL, I dunno, thought it was pretty apt ;D
At least I 'got it'

 

[BlueCB360]

On a serious note; If I am using a Kohler Reg/Rec, I only need to connect middle prong of the unit to +12 VDC, not the red wire in the engine harness?

 

[Sonreir]

Same wire. Red goes to the battery and so does the middle pole on the R/R.

 

[BlueCB360]

Switched 12 VDC?

 

[Sonreir]

Non-switched. Always hot.

 

[BlueCB360]

With constant 12v on the engine harness RED wire and on the reg-rec I have current draw.

Should I have one of the AC voltage wires (YEL or WHT) "open" when ignition is off, between the engine harness and the reg-rec?

 

[Sonreir]

Yellow, white, and pink should show no voltage unless the engine is running. Voltage on any of those three with the engine off indicates a bad rectifier.

 

[mydlyfkryzis]

the regulator portion could have a fault too. A bad SCR or Zener Diode could cause a draw.....Hard to know on those combo units.

 

[BlueCB360]

Ok, YEL and WHT I know are at the engine. PINK? I'm not so sure where that is.
I don't see a WHT from the engine on this diagram, am I correct?
and is the GRN wire at the stator the nuetral switch wire, or a ground needed?

 

[Sonreir]

Yellow and white are each partial charging circuits (2/3 and 1/3, respectively). Pink is the full deal.

The white and the yellow should be spliced together and be connected to one of the outside poles of the R/R. The pink goes onto the other.

For a 360, there should be no green wire from the stator, just a green/red wire, and it's for the neutral light on your dash.

 

[Sonreir]

Also... In this picture, most of the wiring colors are wrong for other circuits, so you may want to find another diagram if you need it for something besides the charging circuit.

 

[BlueCB360]

Thanks Matt. WHT and YEL are not tied together at the moment. That could be my problem right there.

I have some work to do tonight.

 

[BlueCB360]

Flipped the wiring around, and she fired on the third kick.

I still need to adjust the valves, and possibly the timing.

I started to mess with the mixture adjustment, but I then realized that it was running itself out of gas.

I never wanted to fill the tank, as it has been on and off the bike quite routinely as of late.

Plugs and a seat cover, and I may ride this thing soon.
