Long time since I worked on the bike, eventually got stuck on the ignition. Also added 2 more daughters to the family, so was and am a bit busy
I also bought a second xs360 barnfind, for spare parts/spare engine.
So update;
I cleaned the carbs as best I could (ultrasonic and dismantling, spraying with carb cleaner)
I set the points, after looking at some pictures I found out they were set upside down.
Also adjusted spark gap, as 1 cilinder was misfiring all the time.
I reinstalled the old condenser, and found out what you guys meant with the magnet not working.
after a bit of trial and error, and setting the lefthand points gap a bit, I can see both points sparking.
I think I know the workings of the voltage regulator now, after looking at old yammie wiring diagrams. It switches off the field coil/rerouting postive voltage to frame, thus having the ac generator not working and letting the voltage drop till its below "setpoint" am I correct?
I now have the following symptoms;
Idle was very rough, and stalled the bike after 10 secs. I have got to set idle/airscrew all the way down to have it idle a bit, instead of dying straightaway. Pilot fuel mixture is 4 turns out on both sides. I counted my 2nd bikes turns, they were at 9 out. Manual I have doesnt say much.
I cannot rev the bike, if I rev it stalls immediately.
After a few stalls, It roars like a beast, even to the point that I janked my starter cables, connecting to the battery off (temporary setup).
Could use tips!
Sparkplugs are both black/sooty (not wet) so rich fuel mixture?
My intake rubbers are cracked on the outside, but inside looks good. Ordered new ones anyway.
My first time ever starting/rebuilding a bike, so all tips welcome! Assume I know nothing, I have to look up everything in a book!
