Well, again, what exactly does that mean? The two weights pivot out due to centrifugal force. They pivot on small pins. A spring on each weight holds them in place. An ear on each weight near the pivot limits the total travel outboard. The weights don't exactly "spin" and I don't understand what "knocking the advance out" means. If you're saying the mechanical advance is erratic, that's one thing. If you're saying the mechanical advance provides too much advance, you don't need to change the weights to fix that. If you're saying the advance curve is too fast (or too slow) you need to change the springs, not the weights. At the risk of channeling Norm, your statement really doesn't make sense.
