78 xs400 petcock rebuild problems

[RobbyD]

Getting ready to order a battery and rebuild kit for my petcock and figured I'd take mine apart first bc when I went to rebuild the petcock on my 74 cb550 (first year) it was an oddball.

Well seems I have an oddball petcock on this xs also. Every rebuild kit I see looks nothing like the diaphragm that's on my bike. Any help would be appreciated, trying to get this bike rideable for the rest of the season.





Considering ordering one of these from mikes xs:

any updates on finding a replacement plastic spacer?

seems like this is my only option.

$50 bucks now? Did they go up in price recently? Coulda sworn they were cheaper a few years ago.
