Hey everyone, this is my first post! I just got a SP250 dual sport from my father. The bike is in almost perfect condition with only a little over 1,000 original miles. The only problem is, the carburetor is not working.
I followed some guides and cleaned it out as best as I can. It still wasnt working so I brought it into a shop. The mechanic was terrible and has not been returning my calls except to tell me that he could not fix it and has to replace it. It has been three months now. I tried to order a new carb myself online but I cant seem to find the OEM part.
My question, which may seem silly to some but I am just now getting into bikes, is there another carb I can use besides the OEM model? Because that one seems to be impossible to find these days.
If anyone has any advise or know of where I can find a carburetor, that would be awesome. I really want to start restoring this bike but wont start if I will never be able to get it running.
Thanks in advance guys.
