If the mower has been sitting for a long time they can & do gum up
So you give them a shot of any solvent cleaner you have then work the plunger up & down to clean the gum out
Can take a while but as you have found out they are not cheap.
This itself is price gouging, the actual cost would be lucky to run to $ 10 but because they are a compulsory EPA requirement there is no limit to how much can be charged for them.
