HA!No. What you need is to get some medical assistance for your seal.

Those are some nice pics; and your rig looks great! That's pretty country up there towards Sykesville; haven't been up in that area since grade-school.This summer:
Picked up 4 pallets north of Westminster, MD to enlarge my firewood stack for this winter season. Took some scenic photos.
You can disassemble the horn and clean it up. There is a metal "flap" that can get real cruddy. That is what makes the sound wave. I cleaned mine up and tried it out in the basement with just my shop air. The wife was "NOT" happy !!!I recently replaced my air horn solenoid on my A3 but the horn still doesn't seem to work right. Sometimes when I honk it it sounds like a dying seal. Do I need to replace the horn?
Good info.You can disassemble the horn and clean it up. There is a metal "flap" that can get real cruddy. That is what makes the sound wave. I cleaned mine up and tried it out in the basement with just my shop air. The wife was "NOT" happy !!!
Also the electric "solenoid" can get sticky. Try flushing some brake clean through it with the power applied. Then squirt some lubricant like a good PTFE in it. I use "Tri-Flow" myself.
Probably CAREFULLY applying her lipstick just at that moment, too.You can disassemble the horn and clean it up. There is a metal "flap" that can get real cruddy. That is what makes the sound wave. I cleaned mine up and tried it out in the basement with just my shop air. The wife was "NOT" happy !!!

Thanks, Great day to drive the deuce with great scenery! Im not sure if its still there, I moved here 2 years ago, originally from Detroit area.Those are some nice pics; and your rig looks great! That's pretty country up there towards Sykesville; haven't been up in that area since grade-school.
Is the State Hospital still up there?
LOL
Reed ! That was the word I was looking for ! Thanks Coldwarrior !Good info.
I had to do that to the two trumpets (horns) on our deuce. Lots of crud on the REED (as in a woodwind instrument like a clarinet). The crud essentially dampens the vibrations created as air passes by the reed in the horn. NO vibration = NO honky.
Since the reed in ours was the brass type (copper based), I soaked them overnight in fresh vinegar (like cleaning a penny) and they were nice and shiny and ready for reassembly in the morning.
I suppose we should all be glad you hadn't narrowed it down toReed ! That was the word I was looking for ! Thanks Coldwarrior !
OK, that is funny !I suppose we should all be glad you hadn't narrowed it down to
VIBRATOR !!!
That sure did clean up nice; that's some good looking work there.Finally finished up the bodywork/base color paint today!
