To check the mech advance, just hold the bottom of the dist still while you 
grab the rotor and twist it CW. It should move some amount and then run into a 
hard stop. When you release the rotor it should snap back smartly. If it is 
sticky or doesn't return on its own, then it won't work right. It's generally 
NOT the weights that get frozen.

I rebuild these for a fee.
