Velo Solex fuel pump REBUILD

In this video I rebuild the fuel pump on my old Velo Solex. Its a 3800 model but it pretty much the same on all Velo Solex models.
Glass balls and plastic seats! Its all nice and funky French engineering!

Does anyone know who / what vendor currently sells the glass balls for the carburetor ??? Thanks Alan in Michigan USA

We saw a 1966 Velo Solex here in the UK a couple of weeks ago. An old gentleman had restored it as a pandemic project. He said it saved his legs walking to town and to the library.

Haha! he must live in a area without many hills.... ;)

hello i have a velo solex new pump it stops pumping after a short ride check all the lines are clean any ideas?

[@SeasideGarage]

Maybe the fuel tank vent is blocked so the vacuum makes the pump struggle? try to loosen the fuel tank cap. :)

[@paulmorosky2849]

@@SeasideGarage i did try it with out cap no luck where is the fuel tank vent?
