I recently acquired a 1980 KDX175. Its missing the throttle tube and I have not yet been able to source one. Anyone out there know who might sell one?

Thanks!

It might be easier to fit a later model throttle than find an original.

Hi. Welcome to the forums. Here us some info on the throttle tube. Shop on eBay.

I looked on Partzilla and got the product obsolete info. There is a couple on eBay — one is pretty chewed up the other is sold with a bunch of parts so its on the expensive side. Perhaps a complete cable, tube and housing from a later model will work — I suppose anything that works with a Mikuni.

I would just check on the cable end.
