In this video I do an outside full speed run and play with the governor linkage. The setting that I currently had it on did not achieve full throttle by itself. The wavering in tone you hear is me manually tugging on the throttle linkage to get a higher RPM. We'll get it dialed in soon, just don't want to make my neighbors angry. The maximum frequency I was able to achieve was 398hz. Advertised tone was 440hz. All electric converted 8 port MD typically put out about 460hz. A little more RPM and I should be able to hit it. I did not have the rotator engaged, but the shear rotational drag of the gearbox started rotating the unit slightly, which was somewhat unexpected

This is just incredible. I can't wait for a full run at correct tuning with rotation!

Coming along great. Can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction at the upcoming siren con. I know there’s an individual that’s restoring a Chrysler siren. Imagine him being at the siren con and both you and him would be blasting your gas powered sirens?

@@JerryWickhi. This mobil directo seems to have 2 tones even though its single tone. Is it because the impeller has 3 or 4 longer vains that you get that lower growly sound?. I know that some single tone sirens have that planer sound and its because of longer vains. It reminds me of the old songs sirens witch where custom desighned and where supercharged like japanese sirens and had 8 thunderbolt style horns. People used to think they where supercharged toshiba sirens witch wasnt true. They where American and toshiba never made sirens anyway

You'll get the governor sorted. A VF4 should have the chooch to pull 3600 rpm with that size rotor. Kind of neat it's got that 180 degree crank too, sounds like my bike. Fantastic job on the restoration.

Mine appears to be a manual-only. Meaning you had to physically go up to the roof where it was located, start it. And then run it just like I am doing here. Others were equipped with a collector system that would transmit a command from a telephone relay system or other switch to the Bendix Startix system to automatically start and activate the siren remotely

Yup. Working on it. It's all about having the right tension on the governor linkage. It approaches full throttle after i play with the linkage by hand.
