Alisyn is a synthetic product. When you first got the horn, the valves had probably been oiled with regular valve oil. When Valve oil and synthetics mix, you get extreme slowdown. Try give the horn a good flushing with lukewarm water...a gardenhose will work well. Spray it directly through the valves if you can. Once the valves are completely cleansed of the valve oil/Alisyn mixture, then you can lubricate them with whichever you choose, but choose one or the other. Personally, I like Al Cass oil. It is odorless and I find the synthetic stuff to be a pain in the butt! Just my .02.
