    They call it a govener,it keeps voltage from getting to the o/d solinoid untill about 35 mph to keep the o/d from staying on and or coming on too soon.I think they still sell the bakerlite cap,Job lot in Queens ny used to carry them.You can run with out it it has been discused on how to set it up before.

    The small one is the reverse lockout switch. You don't need it. The governors are fairly easy to find. They usually don't go bad.
