- In this video I restore this exotic engine from a VeloSolex 3800 from 1969. I replaced all seals, bearings and lines with new ones. All parts were very dirty and corroded. There was a lot of cleaning to do. I freshly painted some parts.
I'm happy if you like it.

Saw literally thousands of these in France, Holland, Belgium etc. and never realised what a brilliant design and piece of engineering they were. Must be thousands of then left in sheds all over Europe, pity they are no longer used.
They are pretty awful to ride daily. And my 30cc bicycle is faster. and more quiet
That must be so satisfying. To have the know-how, tools, equipment and skills.😊
Yes, it really is. Although I'm still missing a lot of tools and of course you don't learn from :))
Do you restore outher people stuff if so witch state you in @@restorwerke
That brought back memories from 25 years ago. I used to ride one of those around London. Despite their 20mph top speed they are a really fun ride. The issue with them is reliability. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but mine needed work on a fortnightly basis to keep it running properly. I ended up with three over a 4 year period. Two late 60's and a new Hungarian one, which I bought in Calais, stripped the engine off of and brought to London on the ferry and train as a bicycle, with all the bits in a suitcase. I also brought one to Lincolnshire on the train from London with a similar tear down to ride at the annual bike night. All good fun. Ultimately I took them off the road when I bought a Brompton folding bike, as my home to work journey was too far by road for a Solex at 16 miles right across from West London to Ilford in Essex. I sold the lot on Ebay about 12 years ago.
Thank you for your story and for sharing it with me. It's nice that there are things that can bring back beautiful memories from the past.
Very good job !!!
In the late 70 my grandfather had exactly the same.
I would never have imagined that solex would be sold outside of France...
Hi, interesting. The Solex was actually exported to many countries. kind regards R.
My first motor bike was one of these... An old Velosolex in 1975... Amazing machine...
We had solex in the USA in the late 70s early 80s They were sold through Motobecane Shops if i remember correct they came in an orange and yellow colors. Good Memories!
It was the Solex 5000 with this color. I have actually a white from 1970, the first year of this model. I'm french guy and I'm happy to have one ! 😁✌️
Ah the good old days. I had a 74 model brand new. Rode it every where. Now I ride a Phatmoto which I absolutely love.
Wow awesome, interesting device :)
J'Ai eu mon premier Vélosolex le jour de mes 16 ans! C'était en 1978 un d'occasion exactement le même modèle un 3800 incroyablement rustique et increvable il avait roulé jusqu'en 2000! Merci pour le partage très nostalgique, avec les salutations de France. 🥰👍
Thats awesome to see it done how I do it, for the first time, using lubricant spray on the tight old corroded nuts and bolts, instead of seeing everyone else undoing all the dry rusty threads causing more wear and damage, great job and no cringing for me to watch 👏 thank you awesomely for sharing 👍
I'm very glad you enjoyed it :)
we all wanted to see and hear it run
Maybe it didn't? :)
O aquecimento do rolamento para que encaixasse sem ter que bater foi fenomenal! Aula Show!
I remember when the rectangular light (and plastic housing) was introduced and it made it look very modern at that time...
Nice work in this solex motor thank for sharing
Place right next to my house started selling these around 1970.
A lot of people were riding them around, but I don't believe I ever even sat on one.
They were slow, I ran circles around them with my bicycle.
In 1972 I had an old Peugeot moped, it was awesome. Two- way clutch, you could pedal start it. It was very fast if carburetor ran right. About 40+ mph.
Ah the good old days. I had a 74 model brand new. Now I ride a Phatmoto which I absolutely love.
A really good well done video, very interesting to see a solex engine rebuild,
good work
Thank you so much 😊
dank voor het redden van dit leuke motortje ,
Gerne :)
Jolie restauration. Je suis par contre surpris par le jeux de la tête de bielle, au niveau du roulement à aiguille !
I had one in the late sixties, after a Puch. It was built to run 30 km and functioned fine.
yes, if you don't live in the Mountains region, it's enough :))
Nice work . I also have an old VeloSolex motor but not the knowledge , I think your video will help a lot . Thank you !
Wow nice. The engine is built up pretty easily. You can do it. make it easy. Good luck.
Sehr schön! in den 80ern hatte ich Velosolex gesammelt bis der Keller voll war. Gebrauchtteile lagen auf dem Sperrmüll. Neuteile war noch schwieriger. Eine 5000er und eine De Luxe war dabei. 2Stück habe ich immer noch. Zerbröselnde Sinterrollen durchgeschliffene Gehäuse und rutschende Flehkraftkupplung war das Ärgste. Auch ein bei Wärme funktionsloser Kondensator.war trickreich.
Der Höhepunkt waren aber schwarz lackierte Luxe VA Schutzbleche einer normalen Motobecane., Glück muss man haben.
👍Un plaisir de voir ce moteur de Solex bien restauré ! La qualité des prises de vue est impeccable !Je vois qu’on trouve encore des kits de joints
pour ce type de moteur !Et …..cerise sur le gâteau 😊avec la petite goutte de « lock -Tite « sur les filets parfait😉
Excellent work, I probably would have roughed up the bore a little bit with some fine wet and dry paper (800-1000 grit) just to help the new rings bed in. Never the less, a beautiful job, 👍

Thanks for the tip. I don't show it in the video, but I actually roughened the bore. I look forward to every constructive comment. Thank you for your commitment and subscribe. :))))
@@restorwerke Thank you, and I look forward to seeing more of your work. 👍
Wie neu ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊. Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen der tollen Restauration ☀️🥰😊👍‼️
Freut mich sehr dass es ihnen gefallen hat 😊😊😊
Very nice job, well done!
Thank you very much:))
Zeer mooi gerestaureerd met respect en beleid👍👍👍
Thank you very much 😊😊
Nice job. I'm amazed if you can still get some parts for these. This brings to me memories of 1960s Saigon, Vietnam. My parents were English teachers and I remember the students riding their Velosolexes to school wearing their beautiful white Áo dài clothes. While they took their lessons, I was the little boy admiring their fine black machines neatly parked in a row in the courtyard.
Café Solex... it's a little independent setup in Northern France. They are excellent for spare parts for these little things. I did two up during lock down.. not to this amazing standard and cafe solex were fantastic. 👍🏴
It ran great,love that sound..
En gros, il est toujours dans son jus, authentique, mais propre. Bravo
En 1973, parti de Marseille avec un copain, nous avons fait le tour de l'Espagne en solex jusqu'à Gibraltar, en passant par Bayonne au retour. L'huile espagnole encrassait beaucoup les moteurs, il fallait décalaminer tous les 200km. Que de bons souvenirs.
nice Story thank you :)
De verdad, es un placer ver lo bien que trabajas. Saludos desde Barcelona España
Me alegra darte las gracias :)
super travail ! respect.
Thank you very much:)
Magnifique travail, une oeuvre d'art, bravo !
Thank you very much 😃
Wow I'm truly surprised as to how clean the engine is, I've always liked those bikes but here in the US they're hard to get and they're probably a pretty penny when you buy one. Nice restoration too, thanks for sharing the video with us.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. For us, something in need of restoration costs around 800 euros. Luckily I got it snowed. Kind regards
@@restorwerke l
C est l amour du solex qui m’a dirigé vers la mécanique professionnelle j’ai commencé à 10 ans mon premier solex j’en ai eu 11 et 18 motos 63 voitures etc cette vidéo me rend nostalgique car j’ai 65 printemps et j’aime toujours le solex j’ai acheté mon premier neuf à 16ans pour la modique somme de 2200ff j’avais travaillé tout l été pour lui quand je l ai reçu c était le saint grall une émotion que je n ai jamais ressenti par la suite dans me vie pourtant j’ai eu des motos à des prix fous
wow belle histoire, merci pour le partage :)
ça m'a fait plaisir de voir ""made in FRANCE ""disparu maintenant !!!
Very good job
Thank you so much:)
Tres bon travail , dommage de ne pas l'avoir entendu tourner .
Thank you. Thanks. If you want to hear the engine, I have a video on my channel.
Приятно наблюдать за реставрацией изначально качественно сделанной вещи.Съёмный шатун,автоматическое сцепление,всё продумано и качественно исполнено.Спасибо!
Способы большое:)) спасибо за мотивацию:))
Спасибо*
Nou veel plezier met dat ding. De laatste die ik heb gehad heb ik in de fik gestoken omdat ik er drie keer in één dag mee was gevallen. Als het nat weer is ga je zo onderuit met dat ding. Het enigste positieve wat ik er over kan zeggen is dat hij weinig benzine gebruikt. Met tegenwind moet je bijtrappen en fietsers lachen je uit. De ophanging van de tank breekt op den duur en je betaald een vermogen aan voorbanden. Goedkoop waren ze wel ik heb de mijne destijds aangeschaft voor 25 piek bij een bromfietszaak omdat hij een lekke voorband had. Niemand wilde er nog op rijden en gelijk hadden ze.
😅😅
Its like one of those silent movies but in colour.
Complimenti, sembra un buon lavoro. Buona anche la realizzazione del video !. Un bel BRAVO !!!
Thank you very much 🙂
Beau travail, plus beau que neuf. Attention sous la pluie...
Thank you very much:)
Parabéns a você pela restauração do motor
Obrigado :)))
@@restorwerke amo motores thu strock

Did You forget to start the engine??
No my friend. If you want to see the engine running, look the last video on me channel about the velosolex :)
Jesus! All that work and you didn’t start it?
@pethoviejo; Thanks for the thumbsup about not starting it. Sorry you had to sit through the forplay with no climax.

Thats the best bit I look forward to the most 😢
Instead of hammering in the little end I gudgeon pin, put the piston into boiling water and the pin in the fridge and it will slide in.
well done
Now, we never called those bikes exotic... Never.
PS Looked lovely, shame we didn't get it running on a bike..
This is exactly the type of gizmo I seek out to putter with. I’m going hunting
Good luck my friend :)
I have 2 if you're interested
Aqui no Brasil motor com esse tipo de transmissão é conhecido como devorador de pneu. 😂😂😂 vídeo satisfatório ver a restauração .
Interesting 😅thank you so much:)
Bonjour et bravo pour ce joli travail. On en a plusieurs a la maison qui n ont pas tourné depuis 30 ans . Effectivement ça abime le pneu rapidement et par temps de pluie le galet a bcp de mal a entraîner le pneu .
Super Arbeit, die Krönung wäre gewesen, wenn man noch den Sound gehört hätte :)
Da hast du recht danke :)
I had a 1968 with 500 kilometers,
brand new in 1998...
Gave it to mechanic guy in 2008, he didnt belleive it,
not any rust etc - a WD40 bomb everywhere on it before storage, and since 1st owner.
Yes, crazy. It should also be said that the steel was of a higher quality back then :)
It is funny how primitive the designs and the castings are on motors and vehicles before like the 1980s.
Les moulin SOLEX c était de la belle mécanique
ce n'est pas possible ce gars la à travaillé chez solex ou alors c'est le vingtième qu'il démonte et remonte mais tout est parfait c'est du bon travail il manque un chouia de commentaires mais bravo quand même . amitié Henri ..............
Bonjour Henri, c'est en fait mon premier :) Merci pour tes mots motivants :)
Nice😊
J'en ai restaurer énormément. Ce moteur est un bijou technologique pour l'époque. Il n'y a que du bon sens dans toutes les pièces que vous pouvez trouver là dedans.
Oui, je suis fasciné par la technologie. Merci beaucoup :)
I would have spent a new piston, with a light hone of the cylinder. And new bearings all the way through. But I used to ride them a little. Tight turns could result in a stunt, as you could tumble over the handlebar, because cg was high up and frontheavy.😅
Mit so einem Solex Mofa ist mal einer von Berlin nach Mallorca gefahren... Da gibt es eine reportage darüber 😊 bekommt man da noch passende Kolbenringe dafür? 👍👍
The VeloSolex I had one as a teenager but never got it running.
Did all models have the centrifugal clutch? And how did it engage when operated in reverse direction i.e. when starting it?
You can hire Solexes to ride through the countryside somewhere in the Netherlands.
Yes
сумрачный французский гений. Интересно, на сколько километров хватит покрышки.
Думаю не надолго 😁
7:00 Wull, thar's yer problem right thar dude . . . one *fried* set of rings.
Muy buen trabajo pero no hay restauracion completa sin puesta en funcionamiento !!!
You find it in my last video :)
The slower you take out a bolt does not equal better content.
Thanks for the advice :)
Super la vidéo on voie tres bien comment c'est fait et surtout le demontage
L ho provato x un po' di tempo nel 1966 che ricordi😂
Merci beaucoup :)
:))))
❤ excelente ❤😮
Thank you very much:)
Bravo, mais il manque la remise en route.

In this video I restore the Velosolex 3800. The motorized bicycle is the e-bike of the time. I had a lot of fun restoring the moped because it is very simply constructed.
have fun watching. …

I used to ride a 5000 model (blue with smaller wheels) as a teenager - and bought a S 3800 as shown in the video 40 years later: the same fun and endless grinning ... In autumn 2016 we made an adventure-trip from Zurich to Paris in 12 days with 6 of these lovely "streetfighters". We were 6 guys from Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and Germany and had unforgettable fun! Enjoy our Solex2Paris report at wordpress!
Wow very interesting 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Pois é! esse fusca esta faltando muitos itens, suspensão, campana, sistema a de freio etc... seria bom para aproveitar peças deste para montar outro fusca. Pois se for trocar tudo que precisa neste ficaria um preço meio salgado, mas fica a critério dos jovens. Parabéns 👍👍
In fact, everything is there. You can find the video on my channel :) thank you
Un restauro coi fiocchi!mai visto un motore più spettacolare di questo!scusa !ma il carburatore è un mikuni 16? parabéns pelo teu trabalho ótimo! graças.
It’s Solex 6,5 L carburetor.
Run, run , run.
Sukses for you
Thank you:)
Me haya gustado que lo haya encendido
Bel restauro! Una cosa,, quando si mettono le guarnizioni in carta, bisogna sempre bagnarle nell'acqua, perche' aderiscono meglio! Per il resto mi piace come lavori! Bravo! ❤❤😊
Grazie mille :) Lo farò in futuro, grazie per le informazioni :)
Nice work. Paperweight or functional? I hope she works, if you have not tried, you should...
Thank you, in my last video you will see how it’s run :)
Интересно, познавательно!
Спасибо:)
El motor es una reliquia no se si todavia los venden pero la llanta la gasta rapido la friccion yo hice la prueva
Bonjour, merci pour cette vidéo !
petite question ... combien facturez vous cette prestation ?
Bonjour je vous remercie. Je viens d'Allemagne et la restauration est mon passe-temps. Si vous le souhaitez, je peux restaurer votre moteur et réaliser une vidéo à ce sujet. Vous ne devez couvrir que les frais de pièces de rechange et d'expédition. Si vous êtes intéressé, veuillez me contacter via mon adresse e-mail, que vous pouvez trouver sur la page d'accueil de ma chaîne. Cordialement Restorwerke :)
@@restorwerke pouvons nous en discuter en privé ?
Merci
@@antoineb9635 volontier.
Ждал когда он заведется. Как работает какой звук. И не дождался.
Hallo,
ich habe mal eine Frage,
Woher weißt du beim Wiederzusammenbau, wo welche schraube hingehört?
wie behältst du da die Ordnung?
Hallo, meist merke ich es mir beim demontieren. Wenn’s mal kompliziert wird, schauen ich entweder in meinen Videoaufnahmen oder Fotos die ich mir vorab mache. Aber meistens ist da einfach bisschen technisches Verständnis ausreichend um zu verstehen wo welche Schraube hinkommen könnte :))
Hallo, mit großer Begeisterung habe ich gestern dieses Video entdeckt. Ich habe eine Frage, welche Flüssigkeit benutzt du, um die Papierdichtungen vor dem Zusammenbau zu präparieren? Vielen Dank für das super interessante Video!!! Liebe Grüße
Susanne
Hallo Susanne, schön dass es Dir gefallen hat. Ich benutze Öl, in diesem fall Getriebeöl. Dadurch legen/ drücken sich die Dichtflächen geschmeidiger in die Papierdichtung. Dadurch wird's einmal etwas dichter.
Schöne Grüße
@@restorwerke Vielen Dank 🙏 für den Tip!
@@Karoline1962 gerne 😊
muy buen trabajo , pero no sabemos si funciona ya que no lo puso en marcha.
Hola gracias. Puedes verlo en mi último vídeo. atentamente
Warum hast du nicht den Simmering der Kurbelwelle und das Lager erneuert?
Ich habe nicht das nötige Werkzeug und bevor ich was kaputt mache habe ich es gelassen. Der simmering ist noch super weich. Das Lager top.
Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit und das Kommentar :)
Schöne Grüße
@@restorwerke Lager Top ?? Die Geräusche beim Drehen waren aber nicht so dolle.....Im Grunde hast Du ein wichtiges Detail beiseite gelassen....mal sehen wie lange der läuft...
@@p.wikary9435 ich habe mir die Lager sehr genau unter die Lupe genommen und alles sah und hörte sich gesund an. Aber ich werde natürlich berichten wenn diese flöten gehen :)
@@restorwerke Sollte ja nur als Anmerkung verstanden sein, weil mir dadurch zwei Motörchen "um die Ohren geflogen" sind...bzw. starker Leistungsverlust, weil der Simmering schon zu weich war..
Der kleine, rechte Motordeckel zeigt innen deutliche Schleifspuren von der Pleuelmutter. Ein eindeutiges Zeichen, dass sich das rechte Kurbelwellenlager in seinem Sitz gelöst hat und mitsamt der Welle nach rechts gewandert ist. Das ist ein veritabler Motorschaden, auch wenn der Motor noch läuft. Eine echte Solex-Krankheit. Es wird sich bald rächen, dass du das Lager nicht erneuert hast. Der Abrieb vom Seitendeckel findet seinen Weg ins Kugellager, es wird dir bald um die Ohren fliegen. Man hört auch deutlich nach dem Einsetzen der Reibrolle, dass der Blechkragen an der Rolle beim drehen am Motorgehäuse schleift. Das darf nicht sein ist auch ein Hinweis auf ein loses Kurbelwellenlager.
❤❤
Den kleinen kenne ich Noch. Mit dem langen auspuff.
Скоро покатаемся. 😊
Да скоро :)
Bonjour, magnifique restauration, je me demande Quesque c’est que le liquide de couleurs bleu que vous avez mis à certain endroits 😊
Thank you very much :) it’s loctite for screw lock.
Belle présentation, mais dommage de ne pas en avoir profiter pour changer le roulement du vilebrequin avec son joint spi.
I did it 🙈
Ok j'adore afond
Was ist dass für ein Aufsatz auf der Bohrmaschine den du bei 12:00 benutzt?
Hi, amzn.to/3V4wnPQ hier ein Amazon Link zu dem Produkt. Schönen Gruß R.
bonjour,
quel produit utilisez vous dans votre bac ultrason SVP ?
merci
Hi, its a Aluminum cleaner :))
Would have loved to hear it run but...oh well.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
First thing; look through the comments and "play bar" to see if it's running at the end-if not there's no point in wasting 27+ mins to simply look at a shinny version.
Avuto 40 anni fa regalo di un amico ma aveva un problema al carte crepato ma andato lo stesso usato1 anni e mezzo che ricordi poi rottamato 😅😅😅più volte che lo usavo come bici che a motore quando caldo non andava più❤
Révision générale avec remplacements pièces d’usure , roulements, joints spi d’étanchéité, piston, réalésage ou déglaçage cylindre, rodage soupape de décompression, remplacement des rupteurs du volant magnétique ?
Ou est ce simplement une opération de nettoyage avec remise en peinture du groupe moto propulseur ?
Il manque le test du moteur
Bonne journée
You can see the engine running in the last video of the Velosolex restoration. Kind regards
There is a special little tool to remove the flywheel. Do not use the 2-arm extractor.
no test run??
