1972 450CR

You used molasses to de-rust your tank? Learn something new every day. What did you use to get the molasses out of the tank, gasoline?

I find the battery charger and washing soda method good too

Yup, molasses. Works great. There are a number of videos on you tube.

Rinse with H2O and dry with a heat gun.

Store bought molasses works but the stuff from the feed store is better.

Haven't done anything to the 450. I have moved and building a garage. In the meanwhile I came upon 75 360CR that was listed on Craigslist. I'll post pictures when I pick it up.

Pretty excited to have it. It does need a magneto but otherwise complete.

A 75 360cr, very cool. That model has an interesting history to it from its development to wining the 74 500cc motocross world championship piloted by the Flying Finn.

looks like its all there. nice find !

Looks like a really nice bike. Boy what a difference this one will be to ride compared to your 450. I raced a 360cr after racing a 450 Desert Master for a couple years. The 360 screams in RPM's compared to the 450 but it doesn't come close to the low end grunt of the big bore. The 360 power curve comes on slow until the RPM gets up there then it takes off like a frigging missile.

Thanks guys. I am looking forward to this ride.

She comes without an ignition system and the pipe is missing the guts for the silencer but other than that it's all there.

Hopefully I'll be in the new shop by June. I'll have more room than I did at the apartment garage.

Any one have a workshop manual for the 360 in PDF?

I cant download the manual from Café Husky for some reason, I have tried two different computers and internet connections.

Thanks.

The only one I have is what came from this website before they disappeared. If you didn't hear about the disappearance of tech docs see this thread. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/cafehusky-manuals-gone.83234/

The document is actually a combination of MK/ML bikes. If sometime in the past you downloaded the MK workshop manual from this website for your 450 then you have the ML workshop manual as well.

If you didn't download it I have it but the PDF is 73MB.

Regarding the manual - is there a specific assembly that you are immediately interested in? The reason I ask, is those specific pages could be copied and sent to you. Most email providers have a 25MB limit on attachments.

I was looking for those parts specific to the 360 engine.

Crash pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks guys

I just read the reason the files are not opening.

Here are some pages from Husqvarna Service Bulletins that pertain to your 360 GP.

One more page.

Nice clean good looking Husky. Little better condition than the 450 was when you started!!!
PM'd you links to the MK/ML manuals for download. Anyone else needing them send me a PM.

Thank you all for your help.

I am off to pick up the bike assorted parts that come with it.

Photos to follow.

Here are a few pictures.

The exhaust is missing the silencer parts.
What I am looking for are 10,11,12 and 62 from this diagram.
If anyone has one or all of these I would be glad to pay for the parts and shipping.

The seller said I would need an ignition system for this bike. The 360 has the FEMSA and it is all there but no spark.

Looking briefly I think I will begin by making sure there are good bare metal to metal contact between the frame and engine and between the coil and frame. The frame has been powder coated.

If that all pans out and no spark then I will pull the flywheel and look at the points/condenser.

Does anyone have any pointers here such as testing the ignition primary coil/secondary coil and condenser?

Any caveats on setting up the points/timing?

Thanks again for your help.
