The lock grounds out the magneto- no spark in off position. Antique Cycle Supply has the lock cylinder and key 29646-62, and the insulating block 29590-62 listed in their online catalog, page 59. If you can't get the parts, Morris Magneto sells a top with a barrel key switch that works on the same principal. J&P sells it for $85 part #381-011, I use it and it works real nice.
