So I'm thinking aloud here....

You grab a motor and spin it without load and measure its rpms. you're also able to measure the current draw on that motor at any point.

Now take a dizzy and attach it to that motor.

you already have the unloaded values for the motor, and if the motor is weak enough, the dizzy might have enough torque to show up on the motor as increased current usage to turn motor at same speed.

OK, now there is a point where the centrifugal advance doesnt kick in, and those values are listed on the PP forum.

By plotting RPM vs. current reqd to turn dizzy at RPM, one should be able to plot the advance curve of the dizzy, correct?
