Knowing Honda, they probably used the same type petcock on a dozen different models. Any motorcycle yards near you?

Not that I know of... and this is the sort of thing I'd rather buy new anyway... I mean, if the one I have already failed from a bad seal, what are the odds that one that's sat outside in the elements for a couple of years will be worry free for years...

I actually found a replacement part... it's the whole vacuum assembly... which is cheaper than the replacement diaphrams I found for other models... $30 is WAY better than $100 any day...

I'll order it when I get back from vacation...

Replaced the petcock parts and the bike still wouldn't run worth a shit... Tried a fuel additive... still no bueno... also replaced the battery (donated from the TL)

I took apart the carb this weekend and cleaned it out real good... there was a good amount of gunk in various places and several of the passageways were partially or completely blocked.

When I put it all back together, she took a while to start, then fired right up... Now she fires right up, no choke, just blip the starter and she's running like a top.

ONSSP and I put on about 45 miles on Sunday and I rode it to work yesterday and today...


Still gotta do a couple little things to it, but all in all it's just gas and go... it feels damn good to be back on two wheels.

Here's a shitty cell phone pic:

Glad you got it running again!!
