    Bought a 350x...come see New Pics!

    So Jeff (honda250sx) found an add on craigslist the other day for a 350x not far from my house. The 350x being the 3 wheeler I have dreams about, i jumped on it. I noticed the date was from end of august and we are in september and was skeptical but i had nothing to lose. I called the number several times with no luck until I emailed the guy and asked him what was going on. He put up the wrong number and gave me the right one, thus he still hadnt sold it. Called him, went down and looked at it and bought it. He is about 67 years old and the origional owner, bought new. His son used to race it. It has a twist throttle and supertrapp exhaust. Maier superscoops and a CEET tank cover(??). Does anyone know if any of this stuff is rarer?? Like the plates, or the scoops or cover? Came with a basket of extra parts, orig tool kit**, number plates, extra swinger and shock, dead mans switches, tires on rims galore. I have not gone through everything yet. It hadnt run in 4 years and the carb needs cleaned. The pet cock on the tank doesnt work (doesnt turn the fuel off). But it has LOTS of power. On the origional bore still and it is nuts!! Oh yea, and it came with the owners manual and title to. Anyway i will have alot of questions so i hope you guys can help. He wanted 1500 and i talked him down to $900. I think i did ok. Ok here are the pics... THere are alot because i know we like pics...

































    I need a new petcock and carb kit. Starts right up though but pisses massive amounts of fuel. Prior to recent it hadnt run in quite a few years. Starts on first kick though....

    Here is a video of the carb problem . The petcock dumps out fuel when in the closed position and thus the carb pisses. however i think that if the float wasnt stuck (im assuming stuck) it wouldnt pee all over so i think its a combination of two things here.

    p.s. i gotta kick this thing harder.



    *Edit* i just found wheel spacers in one of the baskets...

    carb rebuild for sure, my 85 r petcock does that to. it has gas flowing in res/on/off positions.

    But would that make a difference in terms of it pissing fuel or is the petcock irrelevant here?

    I have never seen them for the throttle side...only the disc brake cover. I guess it must have come as a kit???
