Mark, it's the same flasher unit, so there has to be some sort of load issue
somewhere. One possibility is different bulb types, another is a bad
connection almost anywhere. Not so bad that a lamp doesn't light, but bad
enough to reduce the voltage to one or both of the LH lamps. Could be a bad
ground, too ...
One way to attack the problem is to jumper across the flasher unit so the
signals stay on constantly, then use a voltmeter to check the voltage at the
bulbs.
Yet another possibility is that one of the turn signal bulbs is inserted or
wired backwards, so that the tail/parking filament is connected into the
turn signal circuit.
I believe Jonmac wrote a few months ago of finding wiring corroded inside
the insulation on Canley Girl to be her turn signal problem.
