HELP! stuck choke plunger

[fifty8]

General info:
Model: 1980 GS850
Carbs: Mikuni BS32

heres my dilemma:
the choke plunger in my carb #3 is stuck! any suggestions on how to get it out without ruining the internals of the carb body?!

Attempts:
1. Tried to soak it in spray carb cleaner and wiggle it out.
2. Tried to heat the carb body and pull/wiggle it out, which resulted in breaking the choke lever attachment point
3. Once it broke, i said f*** it and tried to go at it with more carb cleaner and pulling out with pliers, but it will not budge.

please tell me there is hope!

BTW after tearing apart all my carbs, this one has been giving me the most headaches...

here is a pic to show my fruitless efforts:

I'd dunk the carb in carb dip and give it a good soak (up to 24 hours) to loosen up the sludge.

Compressed air?

Maybe dip will help, maybe not. I have a few like that, dipped for more than a month, no help. Heat, chemicals, you name it, I have tried it. Find another carburetor body from someone on here, I probably have one for you.

@ tkent02, i'll PM you about the carb body once the dip is complete.

Soak the thing in diesel overnight and then try.
