Headlight drops RPMs
Noticed that my headlight drops my idle from 1500 to 1000. Is this amount of drop normal?

Re: Headlight drops RPMs
How is your battery? Sounds like maybe its marginal.

New fully charged battery but replaced headlight with a 55/60. I guess it is time to replace tail light with LED.

Re: Headlight drops RPMs
Tried to reproduce this today but now I see no change in RPM when turning the headlight on. Still planning on putting LED in the tail light as the 73 model has two bulbs so it should make a difference. //Pat
