Solex, worth rebuilding?

The 1982 1.9df T25 I bought for my daughter is pouring fuel out of the carb (Solex 34 PICT-5), looks like the accelerator pump at a glance. It's been more or less stood for three years so could be corrosion around spindles etc as well.
Probably best to just replace it with new, or at least a very good used carb. Any suggestions as to what carb and where from? Any info appreciated.

More likely the float stuck, not heard anything good of most solex repro carbs, I would rebuild it personally

Yep stick with the original. Can always be refurbed. Only things that really wear are the throttle spindles and the float valve which can be replaced.
