A couple of people have said they had a throttle damper problem like mine...

Honda just sent out an alert to its dealers that some 2001-2002 8 and 9.9 units have defective plastic throttle damper assemblies--my 2002 was one of them. If you just can't get it to hold, it's probably because the threads on one of the plastic parts aren't deep enough, so that the threads skip when you try to thighten the collar. I think Honda said it was apparently one lot of parts from a supplier--when the dealer replaced mine (before the alert), it worked fine. ...Although the watchword is "gentle" with the damper collar.
