Ok, got to spend a few quiet minutes on this, and thought I would do the easiest thing first from all of the suggestions. I pulled out the governor. Made sure I had continuity from inside points to the outside wire. Put it in a vise and spun by electric drill having an ohm meter connected to outside wire and ground. Could not get continuity. Opened up the top for the third or fourth time and bent the copper a bit, still nothing. One last try took out the gasket and put the lid back on. Guess what, it works. Well, I can leave it without the gasket or possibly buy a top from Max Merritt. What do you think? Thanks to all of you again (until it doesn't work again). Todd Los Angeles.
