    mine is full of crap, and the diaphragm gasket was done for. I already ordered the Litetek kit for the carbs, and the fuel tap o ring and the gasket to the tank... But where to I find the diaphragm, or barring that, what bikes interchange with ZXR250c? I found an A/B kit in the UK, but no C!

    Got my bike running, it crapped out at 14k and stopped flowing fuel until the carbs could refill. So I pulled the petcock apart and it was full of what can best be described as jelly and earwax. Unfortunately, you can see how bad the diaphragm gasket **** the bed in this vid. Sucks to be me! Rather not buy a new petcock given the opportunity!

    Help! Googles letting me down!

    Yep those are already ordered. Cleaned out everything on their website already. It's the diaphragm I'm after.

    Have a look at Megazip. They may have the oem parts. Or search eBay.

    The ZZR250 tap is the same. There's lots of rebuild kits on eBay.

    You guys are awesome.

    Turned out the petcock was the least of my problems. The half pound of rust in the bottom of the tank was worse. Coated the tank, reassembled petcock- o ring leaks. Guess I'm waiting on all those parts to show!
    I just wanna ride the damned thing!
