- In this video I try to get some more power out of my old Velo Solex 1700 by tuning it with a performance upgrade!
I have been wanting to try a performance aluminum barrel with modified ports and piston to get some more speed and torque out of my Velo solex...
It is really struggling on trips with other mopeds and if its loaded with luggage...
But does it make a difference on this moped? - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

If it was me id be fitting a 2nd solex to the rear wheel just for fun 😂,i didn't know such tuning parts were available for the solex engine...Every day is a school day haha
I actually meet a guy who did just that some years ago! Maybe I should try... :)
@@SeasideGarage Man do it...if i lived closer id help out for sure 👍
Wonderful content - thank you !!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for interesting video, i have a few solex bikes in England
Thanks! They are lovley!
A very interesting video showing the difference between the new 'aluminium' cylinder vs the old cast iron one and the updated piston to suit. I think the performance will improve when the piston has seated itself in, it sounds a more hollow note. Having 3 rings may wear away the cylinder quicker. Then of course what lets these engines down is the transmission.
Please after you have run it a bit longer, can you remake the video showing us any improvements.
Thanks Quentin!
I will make a video on it when the weather gets warmer... I think I am going to look at the fuel mixture also :)
Thanks for watching!
Tuned chamber pipe, my friend! 😁
Yes. but that would mess with the original look which i really like... :)
@@SeasideGarage In exchange for a workable power band, you will get a lot of added performance. I'm sure you've heard of Solex racing, right?
Super fede videoer! Jeg ejer selv en Velo Solex 5000 fra 1971. Den bliver aldrig solgt og kører helt fantastisk. 32 km/t
Tusind tak Jonas! :D
Det var sgu en hurtig en! Jeg ved ikke hvad der gør det, men 5000 modellen har altså tendens til at være hurtigere... det er jo samme motor, så det må være "gearingen" med hjulets størrelse.. :D
@@SeasideGarage Ja præcis. Det er også min opfattelse 😎
@@SeasideGarage kan huske en 5000 der kørte meget hurtigere end min 2200 og fatters 3800 så der er noget om snakken ..
Saw my packed velo in the video🚲
...Only just some hours before I drop the air corrector down the inlet while the engine ran! Doh!
I always thought Denmark had no to very few hills. Then I bought a solex, man was I wrong...
Hehe... and headwind! :O
Big difference
yes
Velo-c-raptors=Velo craptor😊
You get top grades for effort! But i dont think it will be able to keep up with the other mopeds...
Nice editing! Love your videos!
No-. Just no! ;)
This moped will smoke your cady any day!
(with lots of two stroke oil...)
I'd kill to be a part of the velo-c-raptors lol
Hej har lige et spørgsmål? Når du sætter 39.5 cylinder i alu på sådan en velo kører du den så til eller kan den godt holde til man bare kører ?? Hilsen Morten
Tak for endnu en god film, synd du ikke laver film på dansk, det er trods alt lidt sjovere og du lyder til at have en fin humor.
Hilsen fra ham fra hinsidan!
Tak!
Tja, Jeg var også meget i tvivl da jeg startede kanalen... Men det blev på engelsk! Det giver også mulighed for at få kontakt med flere rundt omkring i hele verden... Det kan være en fordel når man skruer på sære sjældne biler... ;)
Fed video! hvor er cylinder kit købt er det en 39.5 med 3 skyllekanaler? Og ændrede du noget på dyser ?
Jeps... Jeg har held med 31-32 dyser :)
Ellers justebar.. men det er sgu noget bøvl og kvaliteten af dem lidt dårlig
Okay fedt nok. kører det bedre en det på videoen? Bruger du bare standard topstykke igen?
Det er en lidt gammel video, så husker det ikke helt.. Men tror ikke at jeg dyssede den der ind.. så den har nok kørt med 29 hvilket gør man ikke helt for det fulde udbytte :)
standard topstykke.. Jeg har en anden video herinde hvor jeg installere et STORT tun sæt på en velo :)
Thanks,I like your videos,i am from yogyakarta,java, indonesian, sory,I can't and bad speak english
Thank you for watching Shulizt! :)
How does the engine drive the front tire? Does it have a gear or a belt?
Good video very interesting.
Its driven by a friction roll... Actually just a small wheel that presses against the tire :)
@@SeasideGarage Sounds like it would put a lot of wear and tear on the tire?
@@SDsailor7 Yes! And its very important that the centrifugal clutch works, otherwise it will burn a hole in the tire in no time when standing still.. :)
Hej, jag har en 2200 o funderar på att köpa o montera ett kit med alu cylinder men att stanna där - inte byta ut topp, förgasare eller avgassystem. Hittar två typer av kit; antingen 41 mm eller 39,5 mm diameter. Större diameter borde väl ge bättre torque - eller...vilken testade du, vilken skulle du välja idag? Min andra knallert är en Solex Flash från 1969 som utan problem kör i 35-40 kmh, otrimmad. Hoppas åka "blommelöbet" i sommar, kanske ses vi där!?
Hej!
Jeg husker faktisk ikke om det er 41 eller 39.5 jeg har... Men tror det er 41.
Det går ganske fint kun med cylinder, men den skal have større dyse eller en justerbar strålespids... Jeg vil anbefale dyse... Strålespidsen gør den lidt svære at starte. :)
Jeg kender ikke blommeløbet, men skal køre Velo solex Rally på bornholm til sommer! :)
@@SeasideGarage det är säkert samma "löb" vi menar - med start 25 juni på Svaneke torv
@@sven-erikandreasson1071 ja lige præcis! Det var sjovt! :)
I have had big problems starting my 2200, since i changed to the aluminium cylinder- it simply wont drive (engine is acting funny) have til har similar problems?
Nope... Mine runs perfect!
Okay det er da for fedt hvordan finder jeg den?
Can you make a link where to buy the piston and barell?
I brought it on a danish site called Mopedspeed.dk But it should be available at many of the big velo solex pages..
you need a larger carburetter. and a larger exhaust tube. have fun
Yes! I need to try that!
Yes, that will make a big different. More in, more out 🙂
Maybe would a change of carb jet size? 30 or 32
I know have adjustable jet/nozzle... :)
Okay tak kan du huske hvor du købte den ? Har set de har 3 slags moped speed med 3 skylle kanaler en 39.5 mm og en 40 mm og en 41 mm syntes din lignede den 40 mm på den måde udstødningporten så ud. Kan du huske hvad det var for en du købte. Jeg har en solex magen til din som kun kører 27 så ville ønske jeg kunne få mere ud af den.
mener at det var 39... kan godt være 40...
Har købt den enten på mopedspeed eller cafesolex.. :)
Jeg har siden monteret flere 39 fra cafesolex med 32 dyser... det køre ret godt... ca 37kmt
Need the performance head
Its easy to make yourself from the old head actually... a piece of glass and wet sandpaper. :)
Maybe it needs new carb jets now?
Could be... already have a 30 tho.. and it goes onto 4 stroke quite easy which indicates to much fuel...
I think that my exhaust could be abit clogged...
Hvad med nyt topstykke og 9 mm. Karb?
Det er bestemt en plan når der lige er midler til det... Det kunne være sjovt. :)
Also air filter ?
Air filter is not restrictive on these in my opinion :)
Är du svensk😁 if not i have one from 80s original and it do 45/km i dont know how that’s possible do you
Dansk! :) 45 sounds very impressive!
Hvor køber man det henne?
Mopedspeed mener jeg, eller cafe solex
I over did my 74 5000. I hit 50 mph. Oops. I blew the wrist pin bearings.
Where are you located?
Denmark :)
@@SeasideGarage Your english is excellent!
@@SDsailor7 Thanks!
Port timing
:)
upjet a little
its begging for a pipe
Its actually already jetted up a bit... Id like to keep the original look of the bike, so no pipe... :)
@@SeasideGarage unfortunatly that is your limiting factor. the extra port timing is opposing the resonance of the standard exhaust. try REDUCING the exhausts exit diameter ;)
Are you sure? I know this from other velos solex or mopeds in general? :)
built a few hundread two stroke engines bud ;)
@@minor0confusion thanks :)
Un coup de peinture haute température serait plus professionnel dommage......
Uh my french is rusty....
It should breathe better
Yes a better exhaust and bigger carb gives it maybe 3-4 kmt more... not a lot but still something :)
