Default big bear 400 broken carb bowl

My 2000 big bear was running rough so I tapped on the carburetor bowl.That fixed it, and it ran great, however I guess I tapped it too hard and broke the carb bowl. Anybody have any idea where I can buy a bowl without buying a whole new carburetor? thanks

If you have the pieces, I'd JB weld it back together and RIDE, man. Make sure you let them dry thoroughly before carb reassembly. You may need to order a new gasket, or you can try some #2 Permatex Gasket Maker on it. Apply with Q-tip, assemble, and allow to dry overnight. Failure to do so may clog your carb jets.

Otherwise, try ATV salvage yards, or Ebay for carb parts.
