I replaced it with a stock style cable that was too long and I had to cut it to the right length. I cut it on the carb end and used the end from the Mr Gasket cable in its place. Works great now.
Received new cable. It has the plastic piece you described. My current one also has plastic which I believe is the factory original. Also, do not know what the blue plastic piece is. It slides on the cable housing. Looked at my current one and it does not have anything like that.
