shocktek Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 hello boys new to the forums but hoping i can get some answers here. I have been looking for a carb rebuild kit for this bike for about a month now and cant seem to find one. I wanted to install new needle valves but cant find them anywhere. Found some for the 650 that look almost identical but am not sure they would work. Were these cv carbs used on a lot of the xs bikes through the 70 and if so are some of the internals the same with the exception of the jets of course. Also how hard would it be to install the starter motor since this model didnt come with one? i rebuilt the whole thing and it is running but off the line it is a bit rough. idles fine and once on the gas its fine but for that second or two while taking off it seems a bit rough. Any tips appreciated will post pics in a day or two. I turned it into a cafe racer so its looks pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me i wouldnt have made this post without checking numerous other options before hand. One of the main carb kits available is the kester carb kit which im sure are the canadian ones but they dont have one for the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help to say that you've tried all the usual options, then we don't have to make assumptions. they are the same carb type ie mikuni 34 mm so should fit yours. For a few dollars its worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
