Hi. Just a quick question about the turn signal operation on my 1981 1000L. The right hand signals will flash and work properly, but the left hand signals only flash once and then they just stay on (lit up). I know that a low battery charge will sometimes stop the signals from flashing, but my battery and charging is good. Can the flasher go bad only on one side??? Or is it more likely that the switch is causing the problem??? Thanks for all input in advance.

Most likely you have a high resistance on the left side. The earths at the signals a prime suspect. You could try swapping the feed left to right in the headlight bucket and the tail and see if the problem moves. It might help narrow down the search a bit.
Have you got one of those auto cancel things ?

Check your bulbs to make sure they are all the same.
I think the originals are a 1073 or something like that, but a more-common 1156 works just as well.
If you have dual-filament bulbs in front, use 1157 bulbs there.
