New/Aftermarket 85-86 250R petcocks?

[Billy Golightly]

Is there anyone that makes or carries em? The one I'm needing to replace is just almost gone from corrosion. New o-rings or anything aint gonna fix it. Is OEM my only choice for new?

i may be able to find you one billy. i'll check my book, i ordered a petcock myself.

do you know if it's the same as any other bike or year so i can have more to look for?

If Goat is not able to hook you up Billy I would highly recommend this after market type of shut off. They come in a variety of out let positions and run about 20 dollars. I know i will never fool around with old worn out petcocks again.
Straight back with the lever is off, down its on. You will haft make your own little adapter plate and thread the area you want the petcock to thread into, nothing you ain't gonna be able to handle.
Oh yeah, you will also loose the reserve.

Slick little mod man. Where abouts did you get that petcock? Nice job

Most honda dirtbike petcocks will work. I know for a fact that crf450r ones will work, you will lose the reserve, maybe an xr250r one will solve that problem. It probably fits also.

For the 83-87 200x's, look at honda generator petcocks and other similar brands. They look very very similar.
