I've been doing some research on switching my stock Mikuni for a Keihin PWK. I've been struggling with jetting the Mikuni right all season and heard the PWK is night and day difference for this bike!
Will a 1998 CR250 Keihin carb bolt right in? I found one on eBay but not sure if its an Air Striker or not? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-98-Honda-CR250R-CR250-CARBURETOR-KEIHIN-FU… is the link to it.
Ive found places that offer new carbs already jetted and include the throttle cable for around $225-250, but this 1998 carb is about a third of the money.

I bought a new 38mm pwk air Stryker from service Honda years ago, I seem to remember it was around $150 and it was from the 2000 cr250
The whole point is you want your bike running good, so just pay the piper and save yourself the hassle of dealing with junk of eBay.
I have a 38mm quad vent keihin carb if you want it. A lot cheaper then the on on eBay.

I ride in the 0-3000 elevation range here in western KY.
The Shop
*If you have a 2004-2007 CR250, you will need a 38mm SHORT body PWK with TPS. These are from late model YZ's, RM's and KX's. You will need to fabricate the wiring harness to connect to the the stock Honda Sumitomo TPS connector on your bike. Or, there is a guy on TT who sells complete harness kits for the YZ, RM and KX carbs which makes the installation clean and easy.
The easiest route for connecting the TPS is to purchase a wiring harness from the guy on TT. He offers a complete kit with genuine Sumitomo connectors installed. Just tell him which specific carb you have and you'll be set.
Pit Row
I just downloaded a free copy of the service manual and have been jetting the carb according to the service manual for each day I ride. Its pretty simple to set the carb up, once you get the hang of it at least.
Spoke to Chad Watts and he said that they tried both carbs (tmx and pwk) when he was at Factory Honda and they could get the TMX working better for that bike than the pwk.
I ended up sending both of my stock TMX carbs (02 CR125 and 03 CR250) to Chad Watts for a refurbish, port, and top secret mod for less than two PWKs......
