Re: thermo-time switch location on 8V

This sender is your coolant temperatur sender for the computer. If this is 
not hooked up it will cause the engine to run VERY poorly! I think it has a 
blue plug connected to it. The sender I think is white, correct? Not having 
this connected will make you think you are driving an underpowered lawn 
tractor in 2 feet of grass.
