As the weather has been getting colder my Foreman has become more and more difficult to start. It’s not been getting used much since the summer.
Yesterday was the day, fully charged battery, checked for fuel at the carb and checked for a spark, all present and correct.

Eventually I got it running. I was dubious of the choke function as there seemed no resistance at the choke lever. As it turned out the choke cable was not connected! Carb removed and it became evident that the choke plunger had been damaged at some point previous to my ownership and the lug broken off. The plunger was also seized inside its housing. I drilled out the plunger which eventually broke free.

Now, I’ve been trying to source a replacement although most look too long. Where can I purchase a reasonably priced replacement? Are there any other carbs that take this same plunger/valve?

I’ll attach a few photos below.

You can buy these OEM replacements from Honda or resellers. Click my links below for Rocky Mtn or partszilla. They are about $35. You didn’t say what year but i think all QA03A carbs use the same starter valve

you can’t rebuild them or simply replace the oring.

Kit comes with plunger, spring, nut, clip and cap

Are you going to rebuild the carb? Buy an oem or Shindy rebuild kit ($25)
