Air Horn

you L head and F head guys
is this the gasket needed for the air horn
and does it go inside with the clamp thing on the round part sticking out

Omix-Ada 17737.02 Air Cleaner Tube | eBay

 

I believe that is prolly for an L-head. Maybe it would fit an F-head. Never saw one on an F-head though.

BTW - I got an Omix air horn and it was a total POS. As was the rubber air hose.

 

I never saw one like that,didn't know that is correct....I make mine out of thick gasket material,seems to work fine....I have also put a layer of silicone on the gasket to seal it up,it is a F head.

 

replacing something that was missing . got a used oem for a member here with the clamp
loose on carb and design of clamp . tells me some type of gasket is used

already at buddy's house so I can't take a picture of bottom . but does have a rounded flange area on bottom . similar to gasket on ebay picture

 

glenn it is a
L head
and I just thought that they both used the same type of carb . and air horn

 

yep

 

part came in . rubber fits over top neck of carb , and air horn sits on top and clamps to side

 

To clarify, is this an F-head or L-head?

 

55 with a L head if I go over there tomorrow . I'll get a picture of it . didn't think too

 

Op that's the gasket for the air horn to the wo carb on the L head

 

I have a jeep with the Lhead and one with the F head. That gasket goes on the Lhead and I would NOT recommend buying it anything but NOS. I had bought one at walks and it was cracked and falling apart in a couple weeks. I then bought a nos one and it has been good for over a year and going strong.

The air horn gasket for the Fhead YF is simply a round flat normal paper gasket

 

Ya all said air horn. In my mind I pictured a pair of those long chrome jobs on a Semi.. Or for that extra oomph an even longer set on one of the diesel train engines.

 

My F-head just has a paper gasket on top of the carb, and the clamp squeezes the horn tight to it. It is hard to get it tight without the gasket.
