There is a small spring clip the holds the knurled nut in place. It is
what the nut "clicks" against as you turn it. The clip is very small and
clips on the dizzy. I don't know if spares are available, maybe a
hardware store has something that would work. It's just about a 1/2
long, 3/16 wide and made of spring steel.
