Mark/Marty;
When I purchased this bike, I was told by previous owner it was a 1929. I've had several people comment that 1928 was the last year of the Deluxe Henderson, and I have questioned whether my bike is a '28 or '29. My engine number is D28441, which goes beyond seriel number references for a Deluxe. I did find something interesting the other day in the book the "Golden Age of the Fours" by T.A. Hodgdon. On page 55, it shows a Deluxe Henderson with the following text, "Larger tires (27 x 4.00) and valanced front fenders were featured improvements on 1929 Henderson Deluxe. Instrument cluster, with 100 MPH sdeedo, light switches, ammeter and oil gauge were carried over from previous model. Standard color was Henderson Blue with cream wheels, but maroon or grass green was optional at no extra cost. Price was $435 f.o.b. Chicago. Reverse gear was an optional extra at $25.
This model, introduced in September, 1928, was produced as shown until it was superseded by the mid-year announcement of new streamline KJ model, which was unveiled in spring of 1929".
I hope I'm not opening a can of worms, as I appreciate any info and assistance on this bike.
Thanks,
John Weatherwax
P.S.-Mark/Marty, would still appreciate possible carb types used.

Mark, he said Deluxe, not KJ. Didn't the 29 Deluxe still have the earlier style manifold and carb? The DLX70 is definately 29KJ. Marty

It should be a schebler DLX 70 (Brass) two flange on early 29's and later a DLX 76(pot metal)two flange on later machines. Hope this helps. Check out post 2289 on this page I have adapter plates in stock to convert to the more common three flange carb set up.
Best,

Mark

Could someone tell me what the correct carburator would be for 1929 Henderson Deluxe four cyclinder?
Thanks.
