Title: Engine rattle -> loose component
Post by: fawtytoo on May 14, 2025, 17:47

During a rare engine detail session, I found this, erm, what-ever-it-is loose. This is on the left side of the engine. There's an empty bolt hole that looks suspiciously where it should be.

What is this thingemy-jig? There looks like only one wire to it.

It should be bolted to the cylinder head.

Thanks guys & gals.

Can you enlighten me as to what it does? It looks like maybe a resistor/filter.
