Yes, some of the rattle is definitely coming from the clutch basket, however, unless there is some danger in idling at 1400, I will live with it for the time being.

Thank you for the details on how to replace the chain without major effort ... not sure this hobbyist is up to that task.  If doing this would *guarantee* the rattle goes away, then I would pursue it but I am hearing you (and others) say that some rattling is inevitable given the age/design of the bike.  Perhaps this is part of the charm of the vintage bike experience

Thanks for the quick response.
