Jack: Welcome to the forum.

 

thank you!

 

Hmmm. I drilled out the rivets on a 420 petcock, and then used small 6mm bolts to put it back together. Once I got it opened up I cleaned it out, and it sounds like you need new seals in it.

Worst case scenario, you open it up and find you can't fix it. Best case, you slap a new oring in there and it works.

Ebay is probably your best bet, or see if you have any local FB ATV trading pages where people are parting out ATV's

 

I was going to say go on eBay and find one of the China knockoffs for around $15 but it looks like your 200D is an oddball and they don't make a replacement for it. Only 90-97 200/200D used that petcock.

If you know the thread size of the nut that screws in to the bottom of the tank you can search for "16950 petcock" and there are a few motorcycles that used single bolt screw in petcocks, The vt600 used almost an identical one with a screw on extension handle. Good luck in your search

I didn't wanna be that guy that posts a question and doesn't follow up. So heres what we have...

the culprit:

the problem:

The solution:

unfortunately it's still leaking. I think it's missing an O ring where the valve actually connects to the tank. I will pick one up and report back.

 

For anyone in the future who may have the same issue as me, you can use any petcock with size m16 x 1.5. there are tons of them on amazon and ebay that a brand new for 15$ or so.

Jack....unfortunately I have the same problem with my 1997 Honda TRX200D. I have searched everywhere online for a petcock (even overseas!!) but to no avail. I will try your out of the box suggestion of a cheap Chinese petcock made for Chinese generators ($6.50) from Amazon. Let me know if you were able to fix the one you have.

I am going to try and simply go to ACE Hardware and replace the gasket for the fuel bowl (bottom of petcock) and see if that works. You would think Honda would still sell these or at least China would sell the knock offs.

I guess Honda makes ATV's that last forever until you can't find a replacement part.

 

did you happen to notice the post date on this thread ??..lol.
