Horn issues

Post by Reno Speedster » Sat Mar 11, 2023 2:17 pm

I installed the horn I got today and when I press the button I get one very short sound, so the ground is working. I took the cover off and it is all clean, no rust. I can’t see the diaphragm under the cover but it looks ok down the bell. Is there an adjustment that I need to do?

Never mind, I figured it out. Works great.

But battery horns should not! This battery horn most likely responded to adjustment of the weight on the cross spring.
