I have a 12 volt system with an alternator and and FS point less electronic ignition. My LED turn signals cycle on and off on a regular beat when the engine is off. When the engine is on they cycle at an erratic beat. They will signal traffic in either instance but it I do not like the erratic cycle. My system uses a electronic flasher for LED lights I bought from a Model A vendor. It has a three spade plug and lead that goes to ground. Incorporated into a simple lever turn signal unit with an incandescent monitor light on that unit. Power to signal unit is direct to the battery. For diagnosis I hooked a 12 volt incandescent light in place of the of one of LED signal lights. Same results. One friend has suggested that it could be ignition noise?. Could I have a failed flasher unit? Any help appreciated, my friend has heard of others with similar problem.
