There is one more thing that is kind of critical for AM reception and that is the shield of the coax must connect to the ground plane at the base of the antenna mast. when you replace the antenna, you must clean around the underside of the hole in the fender right down to bare metal so that the base of the antenna makes good contact with the fender. If not done, AM just won’t work.
