Been looking all over the place for one. It's a 1983 Montesa 175cc (Cota 200). The fuel petcock is leaking and I'm in need of a new one. Any ideas where to find one or a way to fix mine? Thanks!

Chances of finding a Montesa Cota in a wreckers here in N.A. are pretty dam slim. If E-bay can't help you, you may be stuck with buying from a specialty supplier on-line or something. Trails bikes of any make are hard to find here, parts will be about as easy to find. Maybe someone like Pingle could help....

If the 'footprint' of the gasket area and srewhole spacing are the same, you could use an old petcock from a used MX bike, but determining that will require some direct, hands-on comparison in a scrapyard....

Thanks for the links guys. I think it would be wise to buy a new one since a used one may have the same problem.
I did find this site and sent them an email to make sure it will fit.
