Ive only just cleaned it really good with carb/TB cleaner. Lots of people suggest WD-40 after a good cleaning. Does the armature turn smoothly? Mine has no noticable friction (there is a spring, tho).
OTOH, check a few other things. Grounds on crossmember under radiator, near battery. One or more of these can (I think?) influence how "good" of a tachometer signal gets to the AIC. Clean, grease, & tighten them, maybe ditch the crimp connections for some solder. I think some of my past wandering-idle problems were marginally bad spark plug wires. Cold start in the dark, look for arcing.
