I am not an expert by any means but have had similar problems with my '47 with the R-9. Is the fuse OK? If so you could ground the governor terminal and should hear the relay and the solenoid click. There may be two terminals on the governor one is for the OD the other is for the E.clutch I also would ground the terminal at the lockout switch (under the dash attached to the cable housing) and you should hear both the relay and solenoid click together. You should have continuity between the terminals when The cable is pushed in. If none of these work you should check the solenoid and relay individually. I think I can find pictures and more info if needed. Let me know and we can sort it out I am sure unless it's something mechanical Good luck.
