what you call it?

[MF24-4]

What do you call the round piece that the end of a throttle cable goes through and is threaded on both ends and has screws to tighten the cable.. Lost one and need to get another one but don't know a technical name for it.

turnbuckle?

It's called a wire stop. I spent a fair amount of time describing it before I finally found one.

NAPA has them in various sizes. The size typically used on small engine applications is Part Number 731-1135

They are easy to make. Drill a hole big enough for the cable through a nut from the top of a spark plug and find a screw the same thread as the top of the spark plug. It is good as any you can buy. I live a long way from the store and improvise a lot.

local lawnmower shops,some go-cart shops, have/use them on small motors. or parts stores, whichever is closest to you.

bicycle shops have 'em too...we just called them cable ends

Sounds like 2X4 got it right (turnbuckle). They are used for tightening cable or other devises
