Carb Problem
My 2000 W650 was running poorly for several months. Engine would
break up on light acceleration or when engine/weather was cold. Engine started & idled fine and was good on heavy throttle. The Kawasaki dealer overhauled the carbs. The problem was the diaphram on the vacuum valves. A very expensive repair as the vacuum valves are $105 each. The repair was a success. Don't know what caused deterioration of the diaphrams.

Floyd Clymer, former Indian Dealership owner, former editor of CYCLE magazine, and owner to the rights to Indian motorcycle name in the 70s did put his name plates on some Enfields and some some Italian made motorcycles.

Can't view your attachment. If you post it in the temp photos section maybe I can shed some light on the bike . I owned two 125 Hercules in the early to mid 70's. Both were competition enduro bikes. The first had a Sachs engine with the sunburst head. The next one was a seven speed with I think an updated Sachs engine. A little heavy for a 125 but very competitive and reliable.

Re: Henderson
Keith Williams
My first single "real" motorcycle? that started my love for singles was a 1948 AJS (48/18-5809-B ) It should have had an advance lever but it had a Matchless magneto that origionally had acentrifugal advance on the sprocket.? There was no bulge for an advance sprocket on an AJS so it was timed at 5/8" BTDC.? this worked out OK as long as I eased it through compression with the release lever, and I could then start it by HAND thanks to the millstones in the crankcase.? It was a constant source of amusement to see someone else try to start it.? I had an ancient oyal Enfield Bullet that was even more unforgiving.? The previou owner wanted to buy it back after I went through it and had put a heavy chunk of stainless on it for a kick peddle.? He was careless and it kicked back snapping said peddle off and chipping his two front teeth.? He bought it anyway,? Keith Williams

My local racing car restorer had one in recently.
