According to Mr. Bentley, the 1.8 bar switch (that controls the buzzer)
is in the middle of the block, most of the way down to the bottom.

I find it about 3" under the 4 rings stamped into the block
under the #3 (center) spark plug. I think this is the high-pressure
one. The low pressure one is on the side of the pan below.
