85 xj700 flasher prob

got a small issue with my flashers before my left signal will work i have to hit my right then it works fine...if i let it sit it doesnt work, have to do the same as before...im thinking the flasher its self is getting weak as ive gone through the switch completely twice and still the same thing happens...now as for a replacment of the flasher, any ideas??? ive thought about leds as well so some thing that would work with them would be good to

 

check your bulbs on the left side the flasher needs the current draw of the correct bulb before it will work you are heating it up with the right side then when it sits it cools off. I would bet one or both of the bulb on the left side are a lower wattage bulb than the ones on the right. Led's cause the same problems not enough current draw to operate the stock flasher.

 

that was my first thought as well all bulbs are new and of the same wattage
