I'm pretty sure the throttle assembly was pretty universal on dirt Hondas around this time - either that or I've somehow ended up wih a couple of relatively rare bits...
Base gasket is easy enough to make yourself.

And never forget your local dealer - they probably won't have anything in stock, but if they can get it, nothing is easier or safer than walking into a shop and exchanging cash for goods.
