I am starting a new topic since I hadn't updated the old one in awhile.

I pulled the distributor cap, rotor, condenser, and points off the tractor today to take a look at the mechanical advance. It seems as though the springs are not returning home.
This is them in the "home" position:
This is them after I manually turned the shaft and they did not return home:
The distributor is an Autolite 6003 2F. I am wondering if I could get by with taking it apart, and then cleaning and lubing the components. Or, if the springs are shot, if anyone has a source for buying new ones or knows what size they are supposed to be.
