Vintage Garage, I just purchased an early 1970’s Solex 3800S Black at a Flea Market last week for very little $$$. The reason the Solex was parked and non-running is exactly the same root cause as your Solex. The tiny fuel filter inside of the fuel tank was blocked with sediment where fuel could not be drawn up to the fuel pump. Easy fix, I like it when it an easy solution to a non-running mopedo.
@@brucepietro6046 the easy fixes are the best fixes! That's a great find by the way! The times where you could get mopeds for cheap prices are long gone here. Everyone thinks they have gold on their hands and want top dollar. Even for shitty non running examples 😕
Vintage Garage, There are two of those tiny glass balls inside of the Solex Fuel pump. When you blow into one of the fuel line openings there is no restriction & when you suck through the other fuel line openings there is no restriction. Yep, that’s the way it works. I have not tried using a ball from a ball point pen. The ones I have purchased through an online store are made from glass. Good luck with your Fuel system on the Solex. In general these machines are extremely dependable. Ride Safely
@@brucepietro6046 yeah the fuel pump is quite literally the heart of these mopeds. I got it running on both of my solexes and they're still running strong actually. Using quality fuel also makes a huge difference
Your video is super useful. I have a running solex that won't get gas from its own tank so ill try cleaning the pump and membrane when I get home. Thanks a bunch for the tips!
No problem, glad I could help! While you are at it, remove the tank and clean it out aswell. My pump is allready clogged again, so I have to remove the tank and fuel lines completely to clean them.
Brilliant video and comments. thanks very useful
Thank you! Glad you like it! 😁
