Drove my 77Westie home today w/ new engine, starting to go over some of the details for inspection and found this: all turn signals work with headlights turned OFF, but with headlights ON the right signals don't work. The signal flasher in the dash that blinks when the turn signal is on glows bright green with the headlights OFF, with the lights on it barely glows with the right signal on. All lights blink fine with the emergency flashers ON, headlights on or off. All bulbs are fine, i replaced them w/ new ones, but the right one in the rear don't seem to glow very bright either. I'm not really adept at electrical/wiring, but my son-in-law is and he will be helping me with it, but i'd like to know where to point him to checking. Any ideas?
Did you catch the opening 'new engine' part? :) After about 6 years of trying to get an engine in this beast, i have now a fresh rebuild in the bus. Now after driving it home, i think the front brakes are binding/locked and will be busying myself w/ the rebuild on the front brakes, this i can do gladly, but am open to any suggestions/tips/go- get-ems/ etc. you feel necessary to throw at me.
New engine sounds/runs great ! so far. Put in 96mm jugs and a counterweighted crank from DPR, picked up a nice cam setup from Weber w/hydraulic lifters that gives it some nice bottom end torque. All in all, i'm happy just to be on the road again with it, well, after i get the brakes set and the lights blinking... and all the other stuff that crops up as time goes by...
Wish me luck. dp
