Hi, could not see a thread to add this to. What is this part? There is a wire cable and it feels like grease on it. Thanks!

Looks like a carburettor or throttle body to me, but I'm a car mechanic.

Throttle body / CARB . Spent enough time looking at carbs last night on the table and not the tasty kind.

probally shouldnt be covered in grease, but that opening and closing is roughly what gives you accelleration
the little grub screw there is the idle position
