97 xp throttle cable plastic thingamajig at handle bar ( small piece)

[Rdessewffy]

Any one know how this piece goes in? I tried all kinds of ways and doesn't seem to do anything. The parts and shop manual show it in horizontal and vertical positions respectively. It doesn't click or snap in and is really loose fit every way I try. Thank you!

That piece does not go on the moving thumb throttle part, but rather inside the throttle housing on the bar and retains the end of the sheathed part of the throttle cable. It holds that part of the cable in place.

I have a few skis in my garage so took a pic to help explain.

Got it. Awesome, thanks!
