MG Flashers-electrical gremlins

[anco@ix.netcom.com (Thomas Anderson )]

Flashers will not flash if the bulbs are not the correct wattage.  The 
current in the circuit must be high enough to heat up the bimetal 
flasher strip in the flasher can.  If insufficient current is flowing 
the bulbs will light but not flash. Unfortuantely lower wattage auto 
bulbs will fit the sockets and few bulbs seem to be marked with their 
wattage. For my 76B the requirement is 21 watts per bulb.  The Sylvania 
spec book lists MG's and the correct bulb number.
