To conclude this thread I can report that a 0.1 microfarad capacitor on the flasher unit has solved the flickering pilot light issue.
Tried a 1 microfarad capacitor, but that had no effect.
I haven’t suppressed the plugs.
I have also cured another annoying rattle coming from the front of the engine.
I loosened the fan belt until it’s almost falling off. Still moves air through the radiator, but no longer makes more noise than the tappets.
Thanks for the advice.
