Solex Moped Flywheel and Timing - 'The Legend' fixes them!

My Solex 5000 had a broken flywheel and the timing was totally out. Only one man could fix it: 'Mystery Solex Legend' aka Paul Grogan (Paul G). Watch his expert hands fettle the Solex to perfection!

Thank you very much! Appreciate you commenting. Dave

Glad I'm not the only one that attempts to start with the crank lock in!

[@mopedinthemalverns6661]

Ha - yes, luckily though I haven't had that pleasure yet! I have tried riding a BMW R80 off with the disc lock still on; exciting! I think Paul was being generous though really - I don't think he makes mistakes like normal mortals.

I have trouble trying to start my 3800 on the peddle could this be the timing as it will start on the drill

[@mopedinthemalverns6661]

Timing wouldn't be the issue there, more like the speed of engine turn. If you've got electronic ignition you need to spin the engine very fast. I'd post your problem on the Velosolex club uk forum and you'll get masses of brilliant advice. Be very careful starting engine with a drill - it's quite dangerous. BEst of luck.
