Possibly good deal on Ebay for somebody!
« on: February 06, 2023, 16:54:09 »
I saw this on Ebay. Most parts are the same as on Pagoda. If your lucky the TTS and the Fuel sender is good! The seller offered it all to me for a lower price of $59.00   I do not need these but I am sure someone out there does!

Just an update. I did buy these parts.  I just wanted a few spares. Mosty I wanted the fuel sending unit. I took it apart and Luckly the thin wires were intact and after a good cleaning it should work fine. the washer bottle was also in good shape.

Joe

Ok so I just went and looked at the block of metal that has the Thermo time switch. I didnt realize it had it on there. I will check to see if it works. it looks intact but will do some testing.

Regards

Be careful with it. They are very expensive new these days if you can find one. It's probably worth at least $200 used.

I was able to remove it easily and it cleaned up nice. Will test it out see if it actually works.

Using the specs in the tech manual for resistance valves between >35Degrees and < 35 degrees it does check out OK.

The housing also had this second switch which I think is a thermo switch . See picture. But it looks longer than other ones I have seen in the tech manual and eBay.

Hello, isn't this the sensor that connects to the temperature gauge capillary tube?

That is the bulb for the engine temperature gauge. It probably has been cut and now is useless. No big loss, seems you are way ahead at this point!
