WTB: Zenith's manifold water temperature sensor (pic)

[Luis A.]

Hey guys,

This is the sensor that lives under the front carb manifold. It closes at temperatures below 17C in order to send current to the choke heater coils while the water warms up.

A new one is a breathtaking $230. After hours looking for substitutes online I've come up with nothing. Many high temperature switches but no low temperature, normally closed switches.

Thanks in advance.
