i have an '01 raptor 660 that i just tore apart to have the tranny rebuilt in. when taking it apart found that the choke cable was messed up....long story short the cable is broke and the plunger is bottomed out and stuck..anyone have an idea how to get it out?

 

i would just buy a new one off ebay there can be cheap

 

Should be pretty straight forward. The choke opens / closes a hole in the top of the carb diaphram. The plunger should move easily unless it needs some lube. You are using the updated 02 up gearset are'nt you? Another 01 gearset will fail again. bad design.

 

yes i will be upgrading the whole tranny. honestly im surprised it lasted as long as it did. anyway i got the plunger out last night. the plunger actually closes off two holes...the large part of the plunger closes off air. the small needle part closes off the fuel passage to the bowl when it is inserted. so anyway i disassembled the carb, you have to take the float out because there is a small vent hole that you have to plug, once that was out i used an air compressor and blew air in through the starter jet and the plunger shot out and went flying. so it's all good to go.

 

I Have the same problem with the choke as the beginning post. The only difference is that i got the cable out and found that the spring was rusted into dust. But i still cant get the plunger out. I got it to come just about even with the edge of the hole after messing with it for about an hour. Now it feels like its seized in place and now the metal piece that actually holds the cable in place is getting really weak. I don't want to break it off. Any suggestions?
