Purple Tom 0 Posted December 11, 2008 It looks a bit like a throttle damper, basically designed to stop the butterfly snapping shut when you let go of the throttle quickly. However I'm not 100% sure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted December 12, 2008 100% certain it is, it sits underneath the throttle body, if you look behind there you should see the thread still intact where its snapped off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
