Thumb and fingers. 

Hold the spring down with your thumb at the holder opening and pic out the holder with something sharp. Release the thumb pressure slowly so the spring unwinds slowly 

Yes. Anything to hold the rope as long as it gets locked on the spool

The wire needs to be bent in such a way to feed both ends of the wire through the holes from inside of the spool out. The factory pieces resemble 1/2 a paper clip and the wire is kind of soft

With a little bit of fuel in the tank, connect a piece of fuel line to the nipple and blow into it. The one that bubbles the fuel is carb line.

The shape of tank. The line from one side to the other allows air to escape out the top. Otherwise the opposite side from the fill neck would just remain an air bubble on the top without it.  So that line allows it to fill all the space so the tank holds more fuel

You can get the 2 sections off without removing that hole plug cover

I never checked if the dc was working. When I put the 2 probles of the meter in the plug socket and put it on continuity it beeped indication of a short.

That old epoxy is always cracked and brittle so moving the wires can expose the copper wire and cause a "short". Maybe use a meter to confirm the windings are not shorted to each other. 
Have someone look at this wiring pic for you. It's an open generator with the wiring

No slack at all. the "epoxy" or whatever it is holds and isolates the winding wires. You can pick it out carefully and solder the wire back but be sure to cover it again. Something like liquid electrical tape should work. 

I've received them shipped both ways. Full unit in a large box and partially disassembled to fit in a smaller box. Never shipped one of those but i have broken down large tools and shipped in a smaller box.

I just use my fingers. Wind a bunch of wraps then pull on it so it tightens up the coil then pinch it tight again and repeat as many times as it takes.
The factory new spring retainer is a piece of steel shaped like a C which keeps it tight in a package  and makes then easy to install.  You can make one out of a 1/8" sliver of 2 inch pipe. I think even PVC pipe would work. 
Wind the spring by hand, then let it uncoil into the C shaped retainer. That way it can easily be placed into the recoil housing. Then the retainer is removed while holding the spring down in the housing with your thumb. Let it uncoil slowly in the housing until it's tight

Sorry, I did post a pic of the pieces.
You should have a 3 piece muffler now so the piece in the center is the spacer and they can be stacked as many as you want

There's one cap that has the face with the little holes and the rest are the spacers with bent tab holes at the bottom. You can stack as many as you want but you'll need to make a threaded rod piece for whatever length you stack them to retain it. You can typically find longer screws at the hardware store and just bend the end like the one that;s on there now. Pretty sure the thread size is #6

I just rubbed it on the stone with my finger tip.

I recently purchased a supply of the 1/16" and 3/32" chrome steel ball bearings used for check valves in most of the O&R carburetors. These are high quality ball bearings precision rated G25. If you need some, just drop me a PM. 

Probably work but you could make a little pin using some stiff wire or cut a small piece off a large paper clip.

Parchment paper is used for cooking/baking
Jungle site is Amazon.com

Make your own
A circle paper cutter-- search on the jungle site for one
Parchment paper is thin like those gaskets

What are you powering with it?  Sensitive computer equipment? Typical lights and motors ain't gonna care.
The governor should limit the rpms so make sure it's not hanging up or something. You can probably add a screw where the cable would go for things like a drill or mini bike engine that uses a throttle cable if you need to limit the butterfly from opening.

I just pinched them with my fingers and kinda twisted.
I guess you could make a ring compressor from some thin sheet metal and a hose clamp to tap them in sorta like big engines.

Yes it has the wider piston rings, it couldn't have anything else as they had discontinued the narrow rings and this was the replacement given in the 1975 parts price list.

The narrow piston rings are A-33-13 (also used on early 13B engines), when these became obsolete they used replacement piston & ring set 400560.
And the wider rings used on later 13B engines are 200862.
