Most likely the bearings on the distributor shaft are going out. You are going to have to get it rebuilt or buy another one.

Check the Screw that holds the rotor on. Sometimes they loosen up.
Also Check for red Dust in the Cap, A Sure sign the Bearing is going bad.

They are both very commen problems for Honda's.
