Yep, sounds like he just needs to tighten the lever screw a smidge. (?) OP, I'm with ya, on thinking old Suntour freewheels are cool. Since I have a 6-speed Suntour Perfect on mine, I recently ordered a NOS pair of alpha3000 accushift thumbies, to see how that goes. I've been using DT Power shifters, for a couple weeks off & on as weather permits, and it's not bad, but I often think I might be the guy who actually does stick his fingers in the spokes.
