Just freshened up my hei. as it was gummed up but when installing the main shaft into the housing are you supposed to put anything on the shaft.

Yes. put a small amount of grease like disc brake wheel brg. grease on the shaft. Also put a pinch on the pivot pins that the flyweights go on. Put a little on the bottom of the weights too. Be sure & put a heat transfer grease on the bottom of the module.
