Default Need some Carb advice on a project bike.

Hey Guys,
You all here have always come thru for this shady mechanic. Recently I purchased a n 04 ktm 250 exc 4strke. Well the carb, I think is shot. It is a frcr 37mm. Does anyone know where I can look to find replacement parts or a cheap used one?

Thanks,

What about just getting a rebuild kit? Any dealer whould be able to order that.

Have you searched e-bay? It's a good place to start.

well it looks he let the bike sit outside too long or something.
The venturi is pitted, and was scaled yesterday after tearing apart.
Right now it is a toss up between finding a used parts carb or buying
rebuild kit. Also, I am wondering if any of it got into the cylinder.
If so, that is a whole new ball game for me. i'll try to attach a pic later
