I have a very nice brass Magneto horn, the type used in 1915 Couplets I believe. It is clean and nice but it needs some tuning by an expert who knows mag horns. Can anyone steer me to a person who really knows how to work on a mag horn? Mike 319 four thirty, 4995. Thanks, Mike

Mike, if you look down the throat you will see a nut around a slotted bolt end. That is where the adjustments are made to the sound. I made a tool by welding the appropriate sized socket wrench to a piece of steel tube and use a screwdriver shaft with a T welded to it to screw the thread. If you get a sound from it, this will allow you to alter the sound. No sound may mean electrical problems. Good luck with that!
Don't get your hopes too high. I could only get a reasonable sound at a good clip going down the road. At lower revs the horn is not much use. Best trick is just to play with it for spectators by revving the motor up and down. It makes a poor imitation of a siren.
Hope this helps.
