At age 62, I finally got a DT! Oh, I have had many other bikes but it all began in the 70's for me as a young boy. One friend, actually several had JT's and one let me use it for delivering papers, the other had a purple 90 (or was it a 100cc bike?- lucky kid!) around '69 - later in my teens, the bigger bikes popped up including a few YZ's -those were the days! This 360 is very complete, a little rough and currently not running but piston moves. No key for bike and need to find the proper 6 volt battery - pulled a Yuasa 6N4B-2A-3, Batteries and Bulbs had no batteries that would fit, same for Napa and O'Reilly's - anyone know a good AGM style battery that fits our tiny battery tray? Will need to order key blanks off EBay and try my hand at cutting a key once I remove ignition tumbler -I was able to pick gas tank lock and in spite of a fair amount of rust here and there on bike, I was surprised to see a good looking internal tank with very minimal rust-yay! Will rinse with hot soapy water and then a good vinergar soak, rinse with two stoke gas, etc. Carb was a mess, took it apart, pulled float needle, jets, etc and put it in my ultrasonic cleaner with a little heat - a ton of varnish and dirt was liberated - the slide looked a little hammered, should source a new one, bore in carb looks good - good source for slide? Petcock need a good clean, will disassemble, solvent clean. Is there a link to a factory FSM here for the 360? I am also working on a Can Am Outlander at this time and will one day put the Bultaco Alpina 250 back together. Wish me luck! No shortage of fun/disassembling/cleaning etc in my future!

Service manual available in Tech Library here.

You can probably save yourself a lot of hassle by just ordering the key from the number on the lock from one of the many ebay sellers or locksmiths.

Autozone can get you a battery... many other places too.  Not needed for spark so I wouldn't start with a battery.  Just don't turn on the lights when you get engine running until you install a battery...  and preferably a voltage regulator.

Auto parts store sell the acid cheap too if you decide to buy a dry battery online...  some ship with DOT approved acid packs so you can go that route too. 



 

Great info, thank you!
