    Two things:
    1: There is supposed to be a flat ground spring #14, between the rotating gear/shaft and steering bracket (under steering bracket). That was unreliable so later models used a ground wire on the mercury switch screw.

    2. There is supposed to be a braided ground wire #55, between steering bracket and exhaust housing. Below the front pan.
