Compatible equipment / model
- Compatible carbureted Honda Foreman Rubicon 500 TRX500FA models with the matching cable and plunger
- Compatible TRX500FGA / GPS-equipped Rubicon variants when the original enrichment parts match
- Verify exact year and carburetor before ordering
Product Overview
A choke knob that will not stay out, cable that binds, hard cold starting, or an engine that remains rich after warm-up may come from a seized cable or starter plunger. Carburetor passages, fuel level, intake leaks, valves, and ignition still matter.
The cable and plunger must match as a system. Compare cable length, knob and bracket, threaded carburetor fitting, plunger tip, spring, seal, routing, year, and TRX500 submodel.
Key Features & Performance
- Restores full cold-start enrichment travel and positive plunger return
- Services a specific carburetor starting or vacuum-control function
- Retains the original compatible carburetor body while correcting the diagnosed internal fault
- Physical details should be compared with the removed part
Common Uses
- Replacing a rusted cable and stuck enrichment valve on a work ATV
- Restoring full movement of the affected fuel-control part
- Addressing a confirmed cold-start, vacuum-slide, or enrichment problem

Installation & Fitment

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, electrical or fuel-system version, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part and application information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a stuck plunger make the engine run rich? A: Yes. If the starter valve cannot seat, extra fuel may continue after warm-up.
Q: Will a new cable clean blocked choke passages? A: No. The enrichment passages inside the carburetor may still need proper cleaning.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
