Velo Solex- How to set the point gap

This Velo Solex does not run right!
It turns out to be related to the points.
In this video I reset them and make the engine run again!
I used a method learned from Steves Workshop
check his very good guide out right here!

From very cool cars to cool mopeds - what's not to like. You are doing it so very well!

Great video, this is the reason why i was subscribed to the channel in the first place. You weren't wrong in the beginning of the video, I was feeling like you talked about me haha. Beside watching the cars on the channel i'm happy to see the solex again. I restored my first solex when I was 17 (during lockdown) and after three years I still have my proudly restored 1700, after that a few other solex projects joined but I will never sell my original solex. There is a small company in Holland that sells electronic ingnitions for a solex, I put it on my 1700 it drives great. Ps: don't use a drill by one of my projects de threat broke off.

To gearheads like us, there's nothing quite as satisfying as hearing the motor you've just been working on come to life!

Thank you i have been unable to find a video to do that i am very grateful to you and also to show how to make the tool to remove the flywheel thanks again.

Is that me ? If it is I’m happy 😃 I love the moped videos. Yesterday I was busy cleaning out a Puch Maxi rusty fuel tank not the most fun job but once it’s done it’s done. Good video more Moped videos please 😃🙂👍 oh if your interested I’ve got some videos coming up sorting out a Honda ST50 monkey bike engine 👍

Great to see you fixing a small bike again………🤙

Nice to see some Solex content! I set the timing ⏱️ also with cigaret paper, but this way is more accurate! And I als stopped with smoking a long time a go !

[@thomasrehm1351]

cool stuff! But instead of pulling the flywheel over and over again, couldn't you install a measuring point that is accessible from the outside through one of the three holes? A piece of nice, gracefully curved sheet of copper, for example, with a hole for the screw (that you used to fixate the wire) on one side and a socket for the probe on the other - the socket should then be accessible when the contact opens?

[@SeasideGarage]

its not that bad to remove the flywheel... and you will have to disconnect the lead from the ignition coil.. its hard to do with the magneto on...

Fedt med en Solex video ❤

[@SeasideGarage]

Ja! :D

[@tobiassarrau6870]

Super fedt!

[@twocvbloke]

So many peeople have broken flywheels on a lot of engines by trying to improperly remove them, whether breaking fins off, or shattering it to pieces, and only then do they look up how to do it right... :P

0:52. I just got a bicycle of this type solex 3800 would be grateful if you would provide me with the measurement of oil and gasoline mixture thanks

Fed video 🙂. Har nu prøvet at sætte mine platiner som du siger, men den skyder helt vildt og vil ikke starte ordenligt. Nogle ide om hvad der kan være galt?

[@SeasideGarage]

hmm.. svært at sige... kørte den ok før? var noten på svinghjulet stadig intakt?

[@steffenrasmussen6048]

@@SeasideGarage Har lige købt den og den har stået stille i 4 år. Fik ingen benzin, så købte ny pumpe. Den får masser af benzin nu men skyder desværre meget i stedet for at starte. Noten ser fin nok ud.. Kender du evt en Velo guru på Djursland man kan spørge/besøge?

[@SeasideGarage]

@@steffenrasmussen6048 desværre ikke... Tjek kompressionen og om snøfteren slutter tæt.

[@steffenrasmussen6048]

@@SeasideGarage Mange tak for svar. Prøver det..

You make everything completely complicated. A cigarette paper is enough to do the job

[@SeasideGarage]

Do I need to start smoking then?
