Carburetor missing parts cb360

[dooby91]

I as having trouble with the idle on this bike because i couldn't seem to get it right. It looks like the e clip fell off the end of #6 (the throttle linkage. Luckily no major disasters but i need to know what goes on the end of it besides the e-clip. I was gonna use a couple of washers but i would be nice to know what it looks like to begin with. Or does somebody have some extra carb parts they would part with.


Thanks,

There are nylon washers under e-clip of the link 'bar' and a rubber seal on the inside next to lever.
I found some Teflon washers to fit.

Ok well i got all the parts i needed and went to reassemble and the shaft was loose. So i took it all apart and added the missing parts. Just went for another ride and the e-clip came off again. WTF. The shaft isn't loose. I'm about to replace it with a snap ring unless someone can convince me otherwise. i have attached a picture of the spare shaft that cam with the used parts that i bought. Also the throttle stuck wide open on just a few mins ago as i was troubleshooting it. luckily i shut it off before the old girl blew up.


Thanks

I also don't remember a rubber seal on that shaft at all and is maybe why it came off again. Does anyone have better pictures of some carbs i can c. I used a metal washer and a teflon washer on the outside like i thought the diagram showed but i may have assembled it wrong.

There are nylon thrust washers and a steel washer next to the 'pulley'',
It's counter intuitive but that's the way Honda (Kei-Hin) did it
On 'inside' next to lock nut there is only a nylon washer
You have to set the shaft with a slight end play on pulley when everything is assembled. If you wound it all the way down then tweaked locknut it will be too tight and clip falls off
The rubber seal's are on the 'ball joints' on link bar

better pic

I did tweak it down but it seems there is at least 1 washers worth of endplay. Checked to make sure all washers are in place and one of the ball joint arms is bent. Gonna bend it back and see what happens. I appreciate your help PJ.

Now that i think about it it was probably the postal service when they sent my carbs back from you working on them. Damn postal service. One more problem in my life i can blame on the gov't.

Be very careful bending the arms, they can snap the shaft (been there done that, learning the hard way :-[ )

Bent them back and i got about 50 miles on her now since I put it back together. Probably gonna resync the carbs for the 5th time. Owning a vintage motorcycle is almost a part time job. ;D

Once you get everything right they only need checking every 2,000 miles or so (and almost never need re-adjusting unless you set valve clearances different to original)
Honda realised this on new bikes and throttle bodies on many are totally non-adjustable. (if 'out of sync' you have a mechanical problem )
Personally I think it's a bad idea as you can't compensate for uneven wear between cylinders or valves which is pretty common on in-line 4 cyl bikes (even water cooled ones)
