Advice on where to find parts

Hi All,

I am new to this discussion group, and looking for advice.

I have a ´73 Yamaha TX 500 that has ~9k miles on it, in very good
shape, except is hasn´t been started since 1984! I am going to attempt
to bring it back to life. I looked in the fuel tank and it was scary. There seems to be rust and paint chips in the tank.

I am looking for advice on cleaning out the fuel system and the crankcase. Also wondering what might be a good source for parts,
like brakes (disc and drum), cables etc.

Thanks very much for your help.
