If I rev up the engine, the horn will start to function in the slow sick cow range. With the car idling and the cowl light s of it will sometimes moan. Seems like it just isn't getting enough juice when the car is running unless the engine is reved up and even then not always enough for full function. Does this mean that I need to adjust my generator??. The horn is an aftermarket 6V horn with no adjustment screw. If I run wires directly to the battery it works great. PS. I removed the horn button and checked it out and all looks good in there.

I have similar problems with my aftermarket model A horns . If the engine isn't running fast enough for the generator to begin charging , the horn sounds like a sick cow . Some of my model A's are running twelve volts . The horn is loud and strong whether on 6 or 12 volts. when the generator is charging at high enough rate ..
