At least you made it home without the help of tow truck so that is a major accomplishment. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the noise and rattle is due to square tires. The speedo and cable undoubtedly could use some lube and will probably reduce if not eliminate the waver. If you see the speedo starting to jerk wildly and try to peg the needle then disconnect the cable until you can get to it so no damage occurs.

I'd also expect the carb could use some work so no surprises there. All in all, I'd say you had a good day.
