      ... Compared to the Yamaha it’s more work, but once you change your approach and learn to be efficient, the rewards are worth far more than the effort.

      It is, but that's the beauty if this horn! The work you put into it pays you back in so many pleasurable ways!

      Agreed brother!

        Interesting-was it sticky? Are you referring to the inner bore of the outer slide or the internal bore? Cutting grooves in it would reduce surface area thus reducing friction.

        Not sticky, but grips better. A picture is worth a thousand words:

        I can contact Gary Dafler (my tech) and ask him what exactly he did, then you can see if there is a local tech in your area that can do this. Alternatively, come on into Dayton and I will introduce you personally to Gary!

          @Dr-GO Ah! So was it too loose? If so, then what he did was knurl it, which raises the surface just a bit. Engine builders do this to pistons sometime to help them retain oil on the skirts.

            Yes. Too loose. Glad you could interpret what Gary did to it by the picture. It now fits snug and works great!
