Well I think the booby prize goes to Badpuppy on this one. When I first tested the electro-mechanical flasher, the battery wasn't fully charged. I charged it and the flasher worked fine with the lights on - but for just one cycle (left/right/engine off). Seems my battery isn't holding a charge for long - something I've suspected for a while since it seems to take an inordinate length of time to charge fully. Needs replacement I guess!

Note that when the engine is running the flasher also works fine with the lights on. Just added confirmation of Badpuppys theory. Thanks all for the input! (I'm using an alternator, by the way, so can't "adjust the third brush")
