That sounds like a loose connection somewhere, have you tried wiggling wires, have you cleaned and dielectric your connection? Checked grounds?

What voltage are you getting on the battery while running and when you rev it up?
Does it do it while just sitting there and rev the motor?
Do you have a skematic you can post, my 86 does not even show a gen light.

My voltage seems good,but it was centered around what I thought.The flasher holder was not grounding good so I cleaned it good and rerivited it to the houseing.If you like I can try load up the strange wireing diagram,it is wierd.

Yes that would be good, I am interested how the turns and gen light are wired. If you want to email it let me know.
