I think first you shoud turn the regen trimmer out so the radio is far from going to squeeling mode. This will likely take care of the howling and the birdies.
If they say remove the clip, it is probably for a reason. I think it is because generators like SG8 or a Philco one have no cap on the output and the attenuator pot will provide the grounding pulldown for the grid. If you keep the clip you attenuate it futher plus possibly create some unwanted resonances.
This said, it is probably not your problem.
But do take care of the regen mode first so it does not howl.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
