250-500cc Wr250 Suspension

I have a 1999 husqvarna wr 250 (marzochi 45mm usd forks) with broken front forks , it travells just 1/4 of what it can and just stops (like bottomed out) probably is something inside broken or bent (both forks have the same problem) . Since I am not experienced with the suspension and never serviced one I started looking for replacment . Saw similar forks for sale from TE 610 (doesn't mention the year but probably 2000) and TE 450 2004 .
What should I look for maybe check or measure? Or from what bike I can just swap forks? (wr250 are quite rare in my area).

you can swap forks from same year or above wr360 theyre on ebay.

have you owned it for a while?
did this just start?
if you just got it, check the oil level

Forks from 125, 250, CR and WR models from 1999 to 2005 you might have to uprate the springs for extra weight from 125 have you screwed the removed fork and screwed the cap off and checked the oil level with the fork leg completely depressed the oil level should be around 80mm from the top
My pal at StormWorks Garage has 5 pairs he has refurbished and need to rebuild I can always do a video of one he rebuilds for you to watch how they go together and what the oil level should be

Disregard the 1st “ screwed the”
