Now, I'll go down to the shop and follow my usual routine of looking at the problem (with the horn) for twenty minutes, sit down to contemplate the situation for 30 minutes, 10 minutes to fix the problem,(hopefully), rest for 45 minutes and then go back to the house to contemplate whether it will really work, sleep on it for 3-4 hours and forget what I had been doing before the nap, go back to the shop and pick up where I left off on the job of changing the spark plugs. (This accounts for most of the five months I have been tinkering with the horns, I hope)

Will keep everyone posted, if I can remember the name of the site where I posted this blurb.

Lazy old man is closer to it. LOL

I did the adjusting. Worked beautifully on first try. Then went to snug up the points adjustment nuts and ZILCH. Whole project on hold till crew gets through repairing damage that Irma did to building and Apatchy. Minor yet frustrating. Story of my life.
