my indicators are really sluggish, only working when i rev the engine then only slowly, any ideas ? i could start stripping it down but if any one can save me some work i'd be grateful!

Are you talking about the turn directional indicators

You may want to start with removing the light bulbs and cleaning the sockets and metal bases of the bulbs, if they have corrosion there .

Also pull the turn signal relay flasher and check the male/female contacts for clean n' shiny. A light touch of dielectric grease on bulb contacts and spades is always helpful.

Plus battery condition. If it takes high revs to get proper signals flashing, I'd check the battery as the alternator doesn't start serious charging until the engine revs to 2-3K and above. Battery terminals could also be suspect.

Monte's indicators are really, I mean REALLY sluggish, when he doesn't get his morning coffee.  (See his rant about small appliances.) [smiley=cool.gif]

Yeah, yeah. It just seems too creepy -even for me- to ride to the funeral home every morning for free coffee.
