1973 RT360 finally got it to start on its own

Lee said 2013-04-15 00:54

Hello all,
Ijust got my RT360 to finally start again after a year of scratching my head. The problem was in the tank when I bought it it ran for about 2 months great and then it just shut down and wouldnt stay running and eventually quit running all together did the whole pull the carb and spark plug cleaning several times and it still would only start with ether come to find out the tank was full of old gas that had dried into a 1/2 inch thick on the bottom of the tank continually clogging the jets, well after cleaning the tank I put it all back together and found that it now is idling super high so I tried to adjust the carb air and fuel mixtures and the only way to get it to calm down is turn the air off as if it is pulling air from somewhere else and I think in the process of pulling the carb the 500 times that I did I have forgotten to hook a vacum up correctly so my question is does anyone know or have a schecmatic or can someone possibly post a close up picture of their 360 for me to mimic, if so I would really appreciate it seeing as I love this bike and really want to ride it this summer with my kids. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
