Got it ....
Remember this .... Well when you turn the indicators on that brass arm presses against the points closing them. Well after using the idicators probably 100times (you have to keep switching them on as they time out far to quickly IMO )..... anyway the brass arm could *just* by the tiniest fraction of a millimeter turn enough to "wedge" itself under the point and hold them closed indefinately. I've loosened the nut/bolt I added and pushed arm with the element on it a hair further out, so now the arm doesn't grab, it returns every time without fail. The issue is now the indicators have been "stuck on" for extended periods of time. They still don't want to work, nothing looks burnt with any of the coils, so I imagine one of the "points" in the flasher side has burnt (like ignition points do if you leave them on). I'm sure if I pull it back out and clean the points it'll be away for another 50years
