I wanted to lock my dizzy and was wondering if there was a write up on this yet. I searched and found nothing so I'm guessing no. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks, Ed

The best way is to extend the weights and then weld them in possition. You could also replce the springs with tie/safety wire, but if the wire breaks the weights will advance the timing.
