1972 Yamaha DT 360 Questions & Answers
What is the points gap for a Yamaha LT2
Factory spec is .014"
First, file and clean the contacts.
The procedure is to set the timing and THEN check the point gap. If the gap is too wide, bend the top contact arm down to correct gap and check timing again.
If the gap is too small (less than.012"), the points need to be replaced.
Good Luck,

I have a 1974 DT
I can't find any parts diagrams for a DT360, and it has been 35 years since I worked on a DT360 at LYNN'S YAMAHA, DM Iowa, but as I recall there IS a ball bearing in the assembly. It went in right before the pushrod. The diagram below is for a 1978 DT400. I am pretty sure your 360 has the same clutch assembly as the 400. The ball bearing would not have worn down. A prior owner leaving it out is far more likely. Please take a moment and rate my answer. Thanks.
