Im sorry, I am not sure even what the part is called. It is related to the shift controls and is basically a rubber nipple that is moved when the throttle pushes it up. The metal plate behind it loses connection and the motor won't start. This problem occurred before and the local Honda guy put in in and out of gear and it worked. But didn't seem to fix the problem, now the nipple is so shot or the plate is too flimsy, I can't decide. Currently it is rigged and works, but slips out in reverse and has to be adjusted. I can't replace the part since I don't know what it's called- or their might be a simpler fix? Thanks, any guidance is greatly appreciated. Love the site
