I have owned GS model bikes in the past and now have purchased one for my daughter a GS 450 L 1982 with low miles ,4800. I am working on a problem caused by the last owner who popped a wheelie and flipped the bike up and layed it down ripping the cluth cover off, right side and caused the the points and advanced govener to be pulled out also. It also removed the Crankshaft pin . It did cause the whole to bigger somewhat. Is that pin suppose to be tight and pressed in? I had my husband make one and it fits the slot of the new govener but is sloppy in the crankshaft. What should I do from here? Also should the govener slid over the crankshaft end with the pin lined up to the slot of the govener. There may be a slight burr on the crankshaft from when it got removed. Thanks Mages622

Ideally the pin is tight and pressed in,yes. It can't come out when the points cam assembly is tightened home onto the crank end so myself, I'd just put a drop of loctite or similar on it when assembling.
New and standard there is a small amount of slop between the pin and the locating slot in the points cam assembly. It doesn't move when everything is tight though. Any adjustment needed to set the timing is done by moving the points backplate.
I assume you're using a new bolt to hold it all on the crank end ?
