Thanks for the tip. Yes it is air cooled, I took a look at the thing and
I still don't know how the heck to get it off. I will try a long socket,
I do have some deep sockets but I don't know if they are deep enough.
You don't, by chance, recall what size the thing is do you? Maybe this
will be a good excuse to buy some more tools :)

Thanks much,

If it is an air cooled engine, Yes.  That is the one residing on the #3
cylinder, top left corner.  Not easy to remove but it will come out.
Try to
preserve the single wire because the unit might be perfect and something
else could be the fault.  Also the new one has to be installed such a
way
that the wire is not hurt.  I used a long socket that could house the
wire
inside without being wringed and torn.

I have a similar problem with my 82, where is the temp2 sensor? Is that
the same as the temp head sensor?

It could very likely be the Temp2 sensor, a cheap replacement to try
before doing expensive "fixes".
