Altettes aren't cheap but they are rebuildable. I'd buy another cheap Taiwan horn if I was you, as Altettes are too expensive to gut just for the looks .
Orabanda; I have a cheap Japanese horn at the moment. I don't have an Altette and was wondering if it was worth getting one. Not too bothered what it looks like it just needs to be louder than the engine.
Hi All, Way back in the sixties and early seventies my Father was still using a TVO Ferguson 20. The older plugs I remember could be dismantled and cleaned then came the crimped type N21 champions. I soon became a dab hand at firing up the parrafin blowlamp to burn the plugs clean
Hi All, Luckily, I have a brother living about halfway down the hill. If the bastard bike hasn't fired up by his place I stop there and get him to bring me home to get my van There were many times when I was young and lived at that house that I had to push bikes up from the very end Maybe I should have chucked those yokes into the tide down there
Hi All I live at the top of a hill, it has its advantages in situations like this
John
I live at the top of a hill too, but the disadvantage is that if a rolling start doesn't start the b*gger it's a loooong push back up.. {Actually the last time this happened I called out breakdown recovery; the old ticker wouldn't take that much exertion!}
