I bought a 1979 P 125X a month ago as a cold weather project. When I removed the horn cast I found what appears to be just a weight attached with wire ties. Any ideas as to why?

Looks like a bridge rectifier. I'd say someone's been playing with DC horns off the AC feed.

You are right. I did not see the wires going to it. Thanks
