85 T-3 parts question

[whiteman350x]

Did anyone ever find a suitable replacement for the 84-5 T-3 petcock? Also are there any intake boots left anywhere?

every once in a while you'll find a boot on ebay. some are nos and go for big bucks, some are ok condition and go for ok money, but alot of them are dry rotted. i am gonna be needing 2 petcocks here in a bit so yeah any answers would be nice.

Intake boots are now ffew and far between for a new one as you allready know. The petcock does have somewhat of a solution. Why somewhat? I had 5 petcocks and they all leaked, the night before a ride I foundone in my shop that fits on the tank no problem don't know what it is off of but t work good. no reserve though. But if my memeory serves me correctly jenn found a replacement petcock for the T3 though. I think it was off of a mojave?? Maybe some searching on the .org site would find the answer?

Carb boot, I needed one really badly, got a NOS one off ebay about 2 months ago, paid an extreme price, but I needed it extremely bad.

Pet cock, I bought one off ebay. The application guide in the auction said:

Will fit these models;

KD80 C1-V5 84-88, KX80 G1-T3 86-93,

KX125 D1-H3 85-93, KL200 C2-C3 84-85,

KX250 C2-H3 84-93, KX500 A2-E5 84-93.

It doesn't have reserve and looks different from a stock T3 petcock, but it works, picture attached. I also got a petcock from the local Kawi dealer for an old Bayou quad. I used it for a while cause it didn't leak, but I had to run it in reserve position, it is really long and got in the wau of the kickstarter.

Will the KX 500 intake boot not fit if you're using a bigger carb?

I looked into a KX250 boot. It would bolt up but was turned to the left. I'd assume all dirt bike boots are turned one way or the other and would be hard to make work.
