If anybody has a set of the arms only on the auto advance mechanism that’s all I need. Really don’t want to buy the complete auto assembly off mikes and I’ve searched eBay with no luck. Thanks guys. Off a 1980.
The main advance governor parts are the following. 1. Rotor: the piece that mounts on the camshaft, with two tabs that stop the advance weights and two posts on which the bob weights rotate. 2. Bob weights. There are no separate "arms." Do you need the rotor?
Any help on where I could find just those 2 pieces would be greatly appreciated. The springs, clips and the rest of the mechanism is in perfect shape. I’ve checked eBay and my only other option I’m seeing right now is ordering a whole new auto advance assembly off mikesxs for $78 (which I havent heard the best reviews about).

If you did not order the E-advance, yes you need a mechanical advance. If you did order the PAMCO with E-advance, then no, you do not need a mechanical advance
I was able to buy the weights from
Halfmile. They appear to be made from a different material possibly copper? Should be here Friday and get me going by the weekend. Saved some money to. Thank you all for the help I will post pictures of my bike soon
