The F2 has 2 BIG carb problems
1 they are pd carbs and a swine to clean
2 they have an accelerator pump which frequently fails with standing.

They do not like standing for 4 weeks or more without being run.

In Ash's dropbox should be the complete K7/F2 Honda manual, the carb bit pictures are not the best but better than other manuals, the pilot jets are pressed in but can be removed with care and do need to come out to clean and clean the passages.
DO NOT attempt to strip the carbs off the rack unless you are a watch/clockmaker as there are gazillions of tiny bits that have to go back exactly right , find somebody with an ultrasonic that will hold the complete bank.
Finally DO NOT buy aftermarket rebuild kits the quality of the brass is crap

The caliper does not originaly have a crush washer as the original metal pipe seals on conical surfaces, but you have different fittingd and may need the washer

They should be soft alloy washers not stainless and can be replaced by copper at bot switch and union screwed into caliper, as to the bleeder if that is damaged replacement is the only option, what bike is it

In years back we always said the BMW was second at everything which made it the best bike going, that was the airhead 900's though

I dont think you will find a G5 that does not need work and being one of the unloved models parts are not the easiest to find but good luck all the same.
Should you find one get back to me and i will give you important service items that never get done.

EDIT Even fleabay only has 1 360 that is not good looking with wrong parts and that is at £2,000

In THEORY it should not matter where on the points lt lead they are fitted and if you fitted an extra in parallel the total capacitance increases so should be better, i tried it on the 500 i sold Ted with 2 rover v8 ones at the coils and the bike did not like it so i disconnected them but as Ted noticed it was too much of a fiddle to remove them!

Yes the F does relate to frame number, and as you can see no engine number quoted which is why Honda cant confirm what goes with what
