Howdy,
This is my first forum post so I apologize if this is the wrong area for this type of question but here goes.
I've recently aquired a 1975 Honda CB360-T. My intention is to recreate a Cafe Racer style bike from it. My goal for the look of the bike can be seen in the attached photo titled GOAL.PNG
I have torn down the bike chassis to a roller. Engine and drive train are still intact, engine hasn't been started in 10 years but was kept in good condition. Bike did start ten years ago before I was given it. When I removed the gas tank it smelled of varnish inside. Not much fluid drained from it. Exhaust has been removed, pipes were rotted out. Have not yet looked at the carbs but I assume they need replacing.
I've attached some additional photos of the bike before and after I stripped it down.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what I should look to do next with the intake, engine, and carbs. I was wondering if there are special ways to help me on deciding to try to kick the engine over. Basically where would one begin to ascertain where to go forward with the build. I am a novice in this department and simply don't want to ruin anything if I can avoid it.
Super pumped for this project and coming to this forum is like going to the well! Thanks for any advice and for all the posted information.
All the best,
- TexForce
