Excellent video and explanation, thank you.

Hi. I just bought a 2004 4800 from chch. I'm in Tauranga. Dave Macfarlane
Yes, you mailed us, thanks mate!
Thanks
Hello, im having some problems with my fuel pump, its leaking from the sides and fuel is going to the outer side of the membrane, blocking it, any clue why this is happening? I have a velosolex Orbea with its original fuel pump.
I aquired a velosolex with stripped fuel pump mounting bolt threads the stripped thread hotes are exactly the right size to retap with 2 BA screws/bolts. moped fixed!!
Thanx, in english 👍🏻, you have interesting videos, would be nice with english words.
Great video, l have a solex 3800, it runs ok along a flat road but when it meets a bit of an incline it loses some power, can you advise me on what it maybe, thankyou.
Sure. You're looking for more torque. A bigger carburettor does the trick. Sold on our shop solexdeal.com
Good morning from N y USA need you help my velo solex stalls when make a stop thank s
If l buy a bigger carb will it fit ok and if l decide to buy a race cylinder and head will it also fit. Thankyou
Any idea where I can get info on converting to a gravity fed carb? I hate the diaphragm pulse system. Thought there are some racing versions set up with a bar top fuel tank but I was wondering what carb they use since it would need a float. I could be wrong about what I saw but that's how it looked to me. I was thinking of trying a small carb for a China girl but haven't had time to try it out. I won't go back to riding a Solex unless I can ditch the stock fuel system, it's a terrible design IMO.
Hi! The stock system actually works fine. Our racing Solex reaches 55 kph and is faster then a modern Vespa. The setup you mention is used in French racing community and they are very active on Facebook. (Search for VeloSolex race france or something, I don't speak Baguette). The float carb is fed from the side by the way, through the crankcase lid.
@@SolexNederland why would you wwbtbto
. It's unstable.
Can You please explain to me why I see carburetors that have a plastic filter while on mine there is some sort of brass insert? Furthermore, this insert doesn't even have a hole.
Are new Solex mopeds still available in the USA?
Maybe not in the USA but we ship worldwide and have several returning customers in the USA. And Canada, Japan, Australia etc.
Yeah, mine only barely runs with choke off, as of today. Ran great a month ago.
You might want to visit solexdeal.com We wrote a blog about fuelsystem problems. As off yesterday we have a translation option available. English is available now.
@@SolexNederland I am replacing the fuel pump rubber diaphragm on it.....
It is the Hungarian Solex S3800. Runs a few seconds then quits, open choke only.
Hello from where I can get parts plz
Solexdeal.com Shipping worldwide
Solo subtítulos en inglés y francés ? en español no tienen?
There is an option to automaticly translate the video in English. It is rubbish but I checked the English version and some words are correct. You should be able to understand what I say with the translation.
what material did you say the engine was made of ? is it not aluminium ?
The crankcase? That's made out of Zamac. An aluminium alloy. So both are correct.
@@SolexNederland thanks :) is it stronger than normal aluminium ?
@@SolexNederland zamak is an zink alloy, with a small percentage of aluminium, typically around 3% aluminium :) very interesting alloy :)
That's what Saturday Night Specials are made of
@@LordNekromoon You could be right. But I was told the Solex crankcase has over 25% aluminium. I never checked though. Zinc Aluminium Magnesium ZAMac
ow wie aar goowing international now! 😂
Mooi man, maar vergeet de Nederlandstaligen niet die je misschien niet kunnen volgen in het Engels, op jouw tempo.
