Are #59 and #58 present and accounted for? Hard to see without taking it apart.

Don’t really know, I looked at the same breakdown, but I see no indication that the motor has been apart at that point. tightening the screw until the spring is solid doesn’t do much. I could try a longer screw…..

Yep, the rubber spacer gets mushed. Use a longer screw.

I did. It worked.

By the way, the thermostat housing cover has unused passages, and a blank pad that looks intended for a hose fitting. On motors that used it, what was it for? Just curious….
