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 |

isnt it the more load the quicker it flashes as the quicker the element heats up? |

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.
