145 issues...(electrical, OD, and leaks...) 140-160 1972

Hi Kyle,

The high beam problem: certainly sounds like the turn signal/hi beam switch. Mine is similar but not as bad, sometimes I flash my high beams while signalling. A bit embarrassing sometimes, as you say... Should be lots of those switches around.

Slipping: sounds to me like the sprague (one-way) clutch in the OD unit. Had a similar problem in my 740, especially when cold. Felt very much like a slipping clutch (which it is, just not the usual one.) Was worse with synthetic fluid (Redline MTF) and Duane (odguru) said that he had heard of similar cases with synthetic. I know some people have had no problems with MTF, so probably a marginal situation anyway. Might just try changing the fluid. I cured mine by overhauling the OD and changing the sprague clutch with a better used one, not a quick fix...

Have fun!
