Few problems on the 1974 1/2 B

well I have a couple issues to deal with on the 74b...

Turn Signals - they were working fine.. then the left would work.. then would work again for a couple days.. then the right would go out... then go back on... now both turn signals are out... perhaps the flasher unit? All fuses seems to be fine.

The car runs fine with the exception of sputtering and kicking at low speeds... generally, I will have to pull the choke about a 1/3 of the way out and will for the most part stop... but I will have to leave the choke in that position. Also looks like I will need to be replacing the choke cable as it is getting frayed..

Anyone in the Murfreesboro are that could teach me how to adjust the HS4's I'd be appreciative!

Speedo Cable... broke... I got a new one from Moss, any tips on making the replacement job easier? looks like a pain

Well thats about it for now... of course we all know there will always be somethin'

Kevin, I had the same problem w/ my 72 turn signals would stop working, it was just a loose connection on the flasher switch tightened clamp and placed back on flasher and ok after that. on your choke carbs are set to lean when you pull choke out it richens mixture, try adjusting your mixture about 1/8-1/4 turn at a time. look in the library here I think theres something there on adjusting

THANKS CLYDE!

Where is the flasher located??

Floating grounds are often the other electrical problem. 1st is corroded connections.......

behind glove box.

If you dont mind short a drive up to lebanon I would be happy to help you out with your carbs.
