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.
how did you not notice that it was only running on 1 cyl when you started it up?
when I was driving it I could hear it kick on once in a while. At idle in my garage it sounded ‘ok’
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?
just checked, 6-speed!
edit: the clutch gets ‘stuck’ engaged. if I push the lever back out it’s fine. Doesn’t happen all the time.
edit edit: the clutch was adjusted too tight and actuate too far. all better now

oh richard <3
oh i also got around to getting some new tanks to replace the yellow
Made this bracket to attach a bar end mirror to my hand guards.
Looks much better than the yellow Choochie.
new tank :tup:
Decided to add some flair today. The clutch was slipping so new plates and an oil change were in order. I ordered some gnar “winter” tires, hopefully they will be here soon
You make yourself a plug for the electric start delete?
nope, it was on the bike when I got it. lol
since vintage bikes always need worked on, thought this was worth tossing in here…I have this same lift as does @GV1390 and we are both super happy with it given the price. We are both cheap chooches and bought it when it was last on sale for this same price… $299, can’t beat it for a table lift really
I’m far from cheap especially compared to you lol. But for as much as mine gets used I couldn’t go wrong with it, works for me.
