Someone here may have one to sell you. You can try E-Bay or these guys can make any kind of cable you want:

do a forum search on 83 petock.  short version: pay the $136 or install generic inline fuel valves.

I posted a response from motion pro on the tech board child thing. get this though, got a dealer he did a computer search and said one was at a dealer 4 hours away, so had trouble calling them so I emailed them the next day, low and behold the day before they shipped it out, DAMN IT!!! so any way motion pro said they could make me one 40 bucks. yeah 136 for petcock is the way i'll go. again believe it or not about 2 weeks ago I just paid 100 for my dr200 petcock it was also vacaum operated but no rebuild kit. my visions fuel cock plastic tubes are blackish and still holding 13 yearold gas that wont come out of the screen :)

I had a similar experience when I first got my Vision. My cousin told me about his favorable experience with Motion Pro. At the time, they even had a few pre-made '82 clutch cables in stock. I was looking for the shorter '83 cable and was about to have them make one when I found a dealer in an adjacent state with a NOS '83 cable. I paid less than the MP custom cable and it's a genuine Yamaha part so I was happy.

Doctor Taco, now THAT'S a deal!  I found a stock cable for less than $20  and free shipping about a year ago.  If you regularly scan eBay you can find some real bargains of NOS parts from time to time.  Get them when you can, don't wait until you need them.  Anyway, someone will need them sooner or later, and as long as they are available here on the ROV they won't go to waste.
