The plunger maybe frozen up in the carb itself.
It unthreads, I would take it apart and look in there.
Good luck, You can buy replacement parts for the plunger assembly if needed.

^^ Agreed ^^ Most of the time, it just needs to be removed and lubed up. :D

Do you have a cable, going in to your carb, that looks like this?

Don`t yank it...Do you see where it has a hex head and unthreads?
when you get that part off, maybe try spraying some penatrant spray in there and letting soak. Before you try pullin the plunger assembly out.

I just reread your post...if you have the plastic hex piece out, now is the time to hit the plunger w the spray.....take you time let it soak in.

Good luck, you`ll get it.

The little that your going to be useing wont.
You`ll prob want to spray the carb out with carb cleaner went done.
Especially in the plunger area, to remove any dirt/corrosion.
