Tried new relay, still makes the clicking sound. I've been told the governor seldom goes out and that it's probably still a relay problem - any thoughts??

If it clicks more than once I would suspect faulty wiring to the governor or oily switch in the governor. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,097 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,097 | You can also get oil in the solenoid that can cause the relay to act up or blow a fuse in the system. You can replace the seal and also take the solenoid apart and wash it out with cleaning solvent. Fred
