 Changing indicator flash rate I counted the flashes per minute on the Ami indicators the other day. MOT speed is 80 - 120 f/m, the Ami is currently managing, er, 40. I've heard that there's a way to tinker with the internals of the relay to increase the flash rate. Anyone got any pointers?

Best to do the adjustment with the engine running, if possible...  ken  Flasher unit by slcchassis, on Flickr

Re: Changing indicator flash rate isnt it the more load the quicker it flashes as the quicker the element heats up?

Re: Changing indicator flash rate Or one every half second  Seriously though, a second is quite long enough to get two flashes from a bulb. There's that old verse that is used:- One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three...blahdy blah. Two a second is no great shake.
