zbuck

Hello all, Newbie here. I have just recently aquired a DE360 (1974). As I am new to this bike how does the compression release work? It seems to have alot of comp. when kicking it. Also does anyone know where I mighy find a carb/carb kit? from the book it says that it is a Mikuni VM26SH. I think the Yamaha PN: is 445-141016100 for the carb. Any help on these matters will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Don B.
