make absolutely certain it goes back together as it comes apart. Some of the washers are "concave springs" to help keep weights snug without binding. There is a surprising number of washers and such. no room for error there. they tend not to work as designed if you get the lobe 180 out. 
Use grease to lube it.
A very small amount of free play seems to be the norm for the 40yr old springs/weights. Even though probably not as engineered. It is fine. Dont permanently stretch/deform the springs when pulling them off pins.
there is a shallow groove inside the lobe for holding grease. fill it.
I took a pic of mine showing all parts.

Unfortunately my filter didn't come in until just before dinner, so by the time I got home with it it was time for my kids to go to bed. Working a double tomorrow then smoking three pork shoulders Sunday while replacing a basement double sink. Hope to find time during all that to get this thing running decent.
This is the one. My friend said he has had it for over twenty years.

And yes, that sort of thing is the wife and mines ultimate goal.
If she packed a bag while I loaded bikes we could be to your place, at 5:30 this eve.
Hooking up w budlite in ohio. get the sink installed, bike tweaked, meat roasted and beers drank!
Driving home on Monday. That would be a riot!

Nice, I cut a bit of the outer protective sheath (Do not cut into the plug wire insulation) off the plug wire nearest the coil. Gave it about 5 wraps and taped it tight as I could. works well....as well as a $12 tach can. Like I said, its got a bit of lag. But it works.

Put the tachometer on, warmed the bike up, set the idle to 1200 rpm. Before running the bike it was static timed to fire on the F. When strobe is attached at 1200rpm the timing is way off, when I adjusted the advance to get the timing to fire on the f with the strobe it ran like garbage would bog and stall if given any throttle, and would not turn off by the switch or key. I had to bog it to get it to turn off, acting like preignition( just keeps running). I set it back to where it was at static point and it ran decent, just having the lean issue still. Is there something I'm missing with the timing. Could there be something more out of whack here. I believe I did all the static work at tdc like the manual states.
