      It's all about tuning them right, mostly in the carbs. And low compression. He also might have warmed them up just a touch first. ;)
      Large carb is good for top end, but makes it difficult to start and poor mpg, lots of carbon, and worse driveability.

    When I was 13 my dad took me to the museum and dale seen me looking at the evil Knievel bike and told my dad to let me sit on it. Great moment in my life. When I was 26 I road my bike up to see the museum and dale was doing a video so I was lookin at my fav the Crocker. When he was done he seen me lookin at her at a distance and grabbed my hand and put it on the throttle and said this is a hands on museum enjoy yourself.. what a great man

    I have a picture of my Dad with his 1929 Henderson. I have no idea which model. I know it was belt drive with the suicide shift. He said it was 4 speed ? And , it had reverse.
    4 cylinder. Beautiful. 👍

    The museum was,and is, on my bucket list! One might think that seeing these wonderful segments might dampen my urge to travel to see the museum. Not so! If anything, he has fueled my desire to see it in person, to study the peces,hear the engines in person and smell the smells of these glorius old machines!

    @misplacedhillbilly7594 4 года назад +2

    Just a thought, could the hand pump be a primer for the oil pump? Maybe being it was the first model with a pressurised system they wanted to make sure things were lubricated before the mechanical pump started circulating.

    • @VndNvwYvvSvv
      @VndNvwYvvSvv 4 года назад +2

      Good idea. May have been dropped because they found priming unnecessary or changed the design to make it such.

    I thought Henderson built a couple of inline 6 cylinders as well back in the day. Do you have an example of one of these at the museum or am I mistaken about the 6 cylinders?

  • @Sean_Coyne
    @Sean_Coyne 4 года назад +1

    A friend and neighbour of mine had an early 4 cylinder 1000cc Henderson that he restored over many months and it looked wonderful. He rang me to tell me it was going and he was dropping by to show me on its first run. I heard him coming down the hill and it sounded great, but then he shot past my place and kept going, before turning around way down the flat and came back much more slowly. Turns out he braked to turn into my drive, only to discover that the brake (rear wheel only if I recall) was basically useless....he'd been trying to stop as he whizzed past my place, lol.

    I like the fact that the bikes are kept original, and not 'restored'.
    Also, I had always thought that carbide lighting systems had a carbide container and water. The drip rate determines how fast the acetylene gas is produced, and therefore how much light. The Henderson in this video simply has a pressure container for acetylene gas. I had never heard of that method before. BTW I have a working 1905 Miller acetylene lamp for a bicycle, repaired it myself from an incomplete wreck

  • @joshdfox420
    @joshdfox420 4 года назад

    Wow!! I had no clue anybody even tried to make a 4 cylinders that far back. Thanks so much for keeping these 2...sometimes 3..(sidecar) wheel, pieces of living, running history. I have learned a ton from these videos. I have only owned and ridden Honda all were relics when I got them and didn't run but a little cleaning and tinkering and they ran. I was 12 when i learned to ride ..pretty much immediately had it down. The bike was a 1972 XL125(I know the fork VIN \model plate said "1972" but I searched for it and Honda didn't start making the XL125 Till 73 from what I could find. I rode that thing everyday just around my grandparents little 2 acre place for till I was 18 when I got a 1978 Honda Hawk CB400t as well as my motorcycle endorsement. That 125 would fire up every time 1 kick as long as the choke was where the bike liked it.
