1985 250ES Carb plunger (choke) any kits come with one?

[TheRealFatShady]

Been doing some work on the cold start issue, I suppose I can drill my starter jet out to .80 if it is a problem, but need to address choke issue first.

My plunger is seized/rusted in place. No force/penetrating fluid will free it. Will have to carefully drill it out.
I am having a hard time finding a kit with this choke plunger in it? Anyone know where I can get one?

I may just drop in a TRX300 engine and 350x or 400ex carb, but for the time being I'd like a stock setup to be fully functional

Thanks

have you checked out any moose kits ?

Yep, they seem to be the most commonly used and most commonly available, didn't see a plunger in the set. Just gaskets and jets.

No they do not come with them... And they are expensive... 45 dollar range...

From what I've read, I need this:

Looks like I may have to shovel out that money for it. I think the TRX300 engine I am picking up may run, but had that same problem with the carb. Would hate to buy it for my stock carb then buy it again for my TRX Big Red.

I bought a used SX(same as ES) carb from ebay couple months ago.
Was seized everywhere!
But what i did to get the choke plunger is I unscrewed the plastic part which gave me a little space to spray paint thinner into it.
Let it sat for an hour or so and came out loose.
Did same with pilot screw.

Was it usable after that?

Of course it was! The plunger and needle came out without any damage, only fews color changes, lol.
