Re: Springs in R90/6 bings

Charlse - have a '74 R90/6

Using the stock 150 main (stock carb), I added the springs a few years ago.

I was getting right around 43 mpg (AMERICAN) before and after installing the springs.

Re: can you test a /5 Flasher relay?

Mayber even a small 9Volt battery will power the flasher enough to test. Depending on the nominal voltage required to operat...
