Hi:

As far as I recall, the ect is located on the right-hand side of the engine above the bell housing. The CHT is on the top center of the cylinder head.

I tried finding pics of the sensor without any luck. However, if you check where I mentioned, you should find it.

Let us know.

Hi:

No problem whatsoever. The funny thing is even though there isn't one, if you look online, you can find the part that doesn't exist. LOL

Take care of yourself and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
