myshkin Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The fiamm horns on my RT have quit working. When I press the button, I can hear the compressor working but apparently not enough air pressure is being generated to power the horns. There are no leaks in the hoses. Should I change the compressor or is this an electrical issue? Link to comment
Jerry Johnston Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'd make sure you don't have water in it first. Link to comment
myshkin Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Can you elaborate a little more. I have tried to blow through the hoses to power play the horns but the restriction is high to do it. The horns quit when I used them during freezing temperatures. After that I got a few very weak blasts and now all that happens is a sound on something moving in the compressor with a little air coming out. I am thinking that if there is a bellows in there, it is torn. Link to comment
Don_Eilenberger Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Have you oiled the compressor lately? The Fiamm compressors are a vane-pump type compressor, and they rely on a thin film of oil inside the housing to create the seal. There should be a small plastic cap you can remove to oil the pump, and squirting some 3:1 oil back into the outlet fitting also may help. Link to comment
