[urq] "Doesn't Need Distributor Signal"

[Patrick Carlier]

I can confirm this .

My engine came without a dizzy .
So I modified a five window one .
Changed the timing , removed the vacuum box and locked the
centrifugal advance . Simply welded both axles together .

It works like a charm and the engine runs and starts without isues .

Later on I found a "real" urq- dizzy , and guess what .
The internals are exactly thesame as my modified one .
Except for the one wndow hall .
