That light is close to what I remember as the Cdn army modification. I think the originals did not have as thick a body. Problem with that light is it is a single bulb, so you will not have a running light on that side. A similar light is available with a two filament bulb with (a 1157 type bulb) but you would have to find the two filament bulb in 24V, which, while they exist, is not that common.

Note that when I say "two filament" I mean a bulb with two separate circuits inside it. Many 24 volt bulbs have two filaments, but only a single circuit. The bulb you would need would have offset pins on the side, and two contacts on the bottom.

I read your thread where you made it 100 feet up the road. Sounds like you are almost there......your use of the choke to get it going makes it sound like you still have a fuel delivery problem. Next time it happens confirm it by removing the #1 plug wire at the plug and confirming the spark. Then you will know for sure it is the fuel system.
