That's your oil pump cable. It works with your throttle position to provide sufficient oil at different rpm's. E.g. When you are at full throttle, you require more oil to lubricate, when you are at wide open throttle, your oil pump is pumping more oil than when you are at 1/2 throttle. Make sense?
 
Actually, it is a VERY light pull. With the throttle cable disconnected, it is very easy to call it slack. As long as you are getting a blue smoke coming from the exhaust when cold, it is fine and operational.
 
to make sure you have the right adjustment, pull the cable apart just above the carburators...

go into the technical pages, under snowmobile, into the misc. options...then click on the mmax manuals. you will find how to adjust the oil pump and bleed it. courtesy of kgmz.
