with all the washers out it should work good. take the thing apart and grease the slide.

sometimes they bind up. ive seen it happen more than once.

i had one genuine rfl on my built d series, an it worked mint, i actually had to add a washer or 2.

i just bought the dual horn knockoff for 45 dollars from xoxo racing. donald125 hooked it up. i put her on, and so far at 10-11 psi it works awesome. sounds agressive as hell. but i chalk that up to the massive cfm.

im sure at 20-25 psi ill be adding washrs.
