took it up and down the street a few more times, it now starts on the first kick. Power feels what I expect for a 40 year old ‘small’ bike. Got back in and the left exhaust is cool to the touch. Tried a spare plug and it was sparking so I threw it in. Sure is a lot faster running on both cylinders. edit: the clutch feels kinda notchy. I think the cable is going. gotta pull that cover and have a look see ---

If anyone is interested, my entire project bike is for sale. I had a buyer coming to get it but they flaked. It’s all apart, some assembly required. If it’s not gone by the end of October it goes outside in a box to rust. ---

I think the cable is going. gotta pull that cover and have a look see the clutch adjustment on the cb360’s is extremely temperamental. takes quite a bit of fiddling to get it just-right. Did you luck out with the 6spd engine or the earlier 5spd variant? ---
