choke plungers - should that happen?
 

the rear plunger assembly is corroded so much the cable couldn't pull it out, the cable was rusted and so brittle that is snapped trying to pull out the plunger

the plunger itself is ok but the spring is rusted to hell :???: didn't think anything in there should rust :confused:

the spring in the in the front pot was fine and so was the plunger, in fact the spring shot off across the garage and is now lost :rolleyes:, but the rear pot is in a hell of a state and the spring is so rusty its stuck in the plunger housing
