Guess the part; rottle bodies

[BoltonSte]

I've been changing the choke cable and had a mishap.

I'm describing this as if you're sat on the bike:

Front tb, on the underside, behind where it connects to the intake. On the left hand side, two wires connect. One Black, one Black/white. One spade connector, one as a tube (both 90 deg with a clear boot) With me so far?

The bit that the wires connect to has broken, more specifically the none spade one (spike/pin call it what you will)

the ceramic portion has split clean through.

What's it do?
Anyone know the part number (can't pinpoint it on Ronayers) or what it's called.
I guess I can't just JB weld it up or some such as both bits need to be insulated. But is the a bodge I can do to get it running?
Any chance this will be a standard item that I can get from Halfwits/maplins or some such place?

Cheers

Edit: Obs. can't spell, should be throtte if any mods feel like changinging it.

Took the bit out and read around some more, think it's my carb heaters, only thing I can fathom which take power.

has FJ5 and 15 stamped on them.

Are carb heaters any good? Should i replace or just junk them?

its carb heaters

dont bother replacing it, they are useless at best and now its not realy cold they wont do anything at all which is precisley 0% better/worse than if they did work

Throttle body and you were changing choke cable? :-P

Plenty folk will have some spares. Only the center pin needs to be insulated the outer one just grounds to the carbs.

That passed through my grey matter too... :lol:

Took carbs/tb off so I could get the font plunger loose as per your vid YC. Punch and hammer worked a treat.

I've always been told the tb is the whole gubbins, the carbs well, just the carb part. TomAto, tomarto
