Default Re: 6 volt Spartan horn on 12 volt system

Try adjusting your horn. There is a little screw in the back that makes a click when turned slightly in or out. Turn it one click and try the horn again. If not right try a click in the other direction. If that is not right try two clicks. Repeat until it sounds the way you like it. Then try adjusting it again with the engine running and the battery being charged.

Make sure the horn armature is bright copper and that the bearings are oiled.

You can rewire the horn for 12 volts but the resistor is a lot simpler.
