BS34 Enricher Plunger replacements

[forty4ma9]

Been working to run to ground the issue with the fouling plugs on my 1983 bike and finally pulled the enricher plunger and feel like the viton tip looks ragged.

Partzilla shows the OEM part (5V4-14171-00-00) is obsolete. Anyone have any experience finding replacements? Mikes has an option on but curious if anyone has experience with them or other source. Thanks! URL of mikes below for reference.

Not the same, but here's my adventure with my BS38 choke plungers.

Start at this album pic, then progress backwards for another (6) pics.

Thanks although different its helpful to see.

May just give Mikes a chance. Just seems like there was suppose to be a raised ring that has parts wear off.

Put these kits in a set of 81 carbs haven't run it yet but parts all looked good under the magnifying glass.

OOPS my bad they didn't include the enricher valves
couple pics of used valves from the bins, the one that isn't black looks fine.

Got the Carb Choke Plunger Mikuni BS34 CV carbs (48-0775) from mikes. Fit my 1983 cable choke setup perfectly. Only a few test runs but seem to be help on the black plugs although after a test run the left plug was noticeable darker than the right. I noticed the left plunger not fully seating. I can move it just a bit when the cable is fully extended so I wonder if my root cause was the springs pushing the plungers weakening with age? Few trips where I tap that left plunger show I've gone from blacked plugs to to lean white.

Good start for the mikes replacements though if you have a cable pulled setup.
