What’s this called?

What’s the cable marked 17 called?
I have several sets of carburettors and the Mikuni carbs have a much longer thread on the end which is the one broken on my set
Need another one

Hard to see item 17 on the blurred image, but if its the upside question mark shaped thing?.....I believe it's the idle adjustment cable, you twist the knob on the end and somehow it adjusts the idle speed.





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

As said, impossible to read the image, but if it's what's described above you can just replace with an ordinary idle screw, just need something of correct thread. On bikes you have the flexy adjuster as impossible to acces carbs without stripping down on modern bikes due to fairings etc.





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

following the answers above, I find it is indeed 'idle adjuster' TM33/38
and part 18 is a clip to hold it in place
