Title: WOLO horn limitations
Post by: CROSSBOLT on November 11, 2019, 07:52:28 PM
Last year, my WOLO horn was rendered INOPerative by Japanese beetles (ladybugs that bite!). This year it is tiny ants! They crawled through the door screen I carefully epoxied over ALL openings that kept the beetles out. Plugged up one of the dual airhorns so what is left is just as wimpy as the original electric horn. Now looking for a replacement...

Exactly similar to the WOLO. It would suffer the ants the same way. Thanks, anyway!

Got two electric horns to replace the WOLO air horn. Boy, are they BIG! I will take picture when I get 'em in!

Interesting. ....as I cannot recall the last time I used my scooter's horn - except to say, "hello" to someone.
Another of the benefits of riding when and where I do, I think.

When you arrive in the deep south from ANYWHERE other than the deep south, that is the first response you get after saying something. Right away they know that you will understand only about 5 percent of what any local says because they use way different pronunciation that has no sensible rule. For example, a writing instrument may be a PEN but is pronounced PIN. A clevis may be a PIN but is pronounced PEN. You will look very stupid trying to figure out what some of these folks are saying. As far as driving is concerned, the horn is like turn signals in that turn blinkers that were on when the car was purchased are about the only thing you see and it rarely ever indicates any intention of a turn and is never relied upon as to direction. The horn is rarely used for anything so when a loud one sounds, folks generaly wake up and look around to locate the source of the strange sound. That is usually three seconds after contact. "Around here" is anywhere inside a line south of the Mason-Dixon on the north,anywhere east of Kansas, Okiehoma and East Texas to the Atlantic and south to the Gulf. You from anywhere outside that "you ain't from around here, are ya, boy?"

I lived 7 years in Florida....but I think that when you go that far south you may actually be going north, again?
As in my experience that half the folks in SoCal seem to be from Arkansas.

This should finish this thread since I have both of those electric horns IN and they are VERY LOUD together even with the bodywork in place. The pictures will show one in the center, original position. That was a no-brainer. The second one was a challenge. It should be faintly visible to the right of center, to the rear.
