new carb in my 04, what years are compatible????

I need a new carb in my '04 and I don't want to spend $335 to get one from the factory. I would like to know if it matters what year bike the carb is off?

this site says the carb will work on any GZ250 http://www.bikebandit.com/search-produc ... 250%20carb

there is also this one off an 01 on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-SUZ ... _500wt_956

thanks in advance!

the dealer claimed that they didn't know how the screw broke, but, that they suspected it was corrosion and thats why it was stuck. i talked to another shop and they agreed that it was probably broken by the dealer but there is no way to prove it.
