Really?

Damn, I thought that was the temp sender...

Temp sender screws into the RH side of the head, the bit the thermostat housing is bolted to.

Much appreciated!

One more, if you'd be so kind.
The diagram shows that the cold start switch in the head connects to a "cold start switch on control"

Is this a relay normally located behind the instruments?

Thanks

No,it is a switch on the choke control. In the post 67 model it is p/n 563318, clamped around the plastic tube that the rigid bit attached to the choke knob goes into, and has a plunger that is displaced by this bit when the choke knob is right in. The cold start switch in the head turns on when the engine is warm, and if the choke is still out, this switch on the choke control is also on, so that the orange "cold start" light will illuminate.
