    Annoying blinker problem

    As for the ground at the bulb socket goes, it may be good enough to allow the lower draw of the running light to light up, but not good enough for the higher draw for the brake/turn part of the bulb. So first area to check is the grounds. The col switch controls the direction of power flow...

    Carb Problems - I'm About to Call a Pro

    Check wire continanuity from coil to key. If it is good your key contacts are bad. replace key assy. Run a Wire from the positive side of your batt to the pos side of the coil, turn key to start and it should run. PB

    With the key On you should have voltage to the coil pos side. the voltage your getting in start position is from the sol feed. Check your Ign switch lead to the coil. Is this a Factory Tach'ed car? could be your tach went bad. PB

    UGH!, What Now

    Failure to lube the contacts will cause your problem. the soft copper will wear down and cause a direct short in the horn connection behind the steering wheel. A melted turnsignal switch or worse a fire can be the result. :eek: PB
