Stien.
The horn probabaly is not worn. My problem was the little plunger that
clicks in the cut out was stuck. Take apart, clean, take a file and deburr
the plunger tha rides on the spring, make sure it is free and loose. Walla.
problem solved.

N888GK showed no wear on that part at its last annual, which was at about
130 hours.
On the other hand, we were well into our second set of (cheap) tires by
