Are you sure that's not something to do with the choke as it looks like its got 40c stamped on it.

Wasn't the Otter switch something to do with the choke circuit? have a search for Otter switch on here.

Cheers

It looks like a rad temp switch that's been fitted into the hole where the Otter switch should be.

It also looks like HIF6 carbs fitted to an HS6 manifold.

P6 with a manual choke had a choke warning light which came on when the coolant reached a certain temp. Too low for a fan, though, I'd say.

That is the place where the otter switch would have been for fan control. So maybe someone fitted a low temp item due to an under-cooling problem at some time?
