Just traded for a low mile, rust free RD350. I have been putting together a parts list and would like help from ya'll where I can get these parts.

- Petcock rebuild kit or can I find a NOS one? I'm wanting to keep it as stock as possible.
- Ordered a new airbox snorkel, but I need the clamp that joins the snorkel to the airbox.  Haven't been able to find it.
- right mirror

- Going to need tires and tubes.
- The tach is very sluggish
- High beam doesn't work. Are these sealed beam?

Thank you guys for any help!

Congrats!  :cheers:

Petcock rebuild kits are available from Economy Cycle
and repro petcock assemblies are available too.  Finding an NOS OEM assy will be near impossible and will likely cost several hundred $$ since nice used ones are well over $100 now.

Airbox snorkel? Are you referring to the Y-boot that connects the airbox to both carbs? I haven't seen them sold separately from the filter or Y-boot kit. The Yamaha OEM part is NLA, but there are a few used ones on Ebay (it'll cost you though). Part # 90460-77016-00

Maybe John at Economy has a source for a new clamp. I'd check with him.

Yambits in the UK has the airbox clamps (as well as a ton of other parts if you can't first get them from Economy!).

crank seals, and john at economy offers an h4/(or) led conversion utilising the stock headlight bucket & ring.

I will take more pix soon. Bike hadn't been started in years, but it started right up after I checked and cleaned the carbs.
