This is a picture of the progress I have made on my Z2 Hen. I just got the cylinders and intake housings back from a valve job. Adjusting the valves is quite a job because you have to take the cylinder off and pull the exhaust tappet out of the engine for adjustment. You adjust the tappet in a vice and then put everything back together and measure it with a feeler gauge. You can use dial calipers to get yourself close, but the proof is in a fully assembled and tightened cylinder. With goof off time, it takes a full afternoon.

Great looking Z2 by the way. I can't tell from the photo. Is it an electric model with the generator on the cam cover? ... PerryLast edited by Perry Ruiter; 01-19-2009, 08:52 PM.

Thanks Perry, I have everything but the generator. Over the years I have found the most obscure stuff for a variety of motorcycles but that darn generator has eluded me.Eric Smith

The starters for 1917-1919 Hendersons are very delicate and always worn out. I have experimented extensively with different dog angles and come up with something that works but even still, you have to be gentle with this vintage of Henderson starter.
