Myrons Mopeds

Welcome to the Solex Parts Department. Solex began in 1905, as two young French engineers, Maurice Goudard and Marcel Mennesson, producing engine parts. In 1940, after decades of interest in “bicycles with emergency engines”, the first front engine prototype was unveiled. After WWII the first Solex cyclomoteurs were sold to the public. Click the links below to see pictures and details of each model. Thanks Mr. Brian Solex!

Solex originally started by making radiators, mostly for large trucks and buses, before and during World War 1. After the war, they shifted from radiators to making carburetors.

Solex carburetors became the company’s most famous product, used on many European automobiles for decades. They also made lots of other things, like excellent micrometers.

Velosolex (Solex bike) was deveveloped during WWII while France was occupied by Germany. In 1946, after 5 years of testing, the humble little hybrid went into production. 

 

For the first 28 years of production, many millions were sold. Improvements were made year after year. The Solex motor bike became a household item in France and many parts of Europe. In 1974 Velosolex sold part of their production facility and rights to Renault. Here is a Renault 5000 and a Renault Tenor. But Renault sold the production to Motobecane, in Dec 1974, after only a month. Motobecane kept the old chrome Velosolex side stickers until late 1977. Here is a 1977-79 Motobecane 50V, a 1977-80 Motobecane S 3800 and Motobecane 5000. At the same time Velosolex continued to produce mostly domestic S 3800s, up to 1986. Motobecane became known as MBK in 1983. The 1982-88 MBK S 3800 stickers only said Solex, in script, like this >

The Solex fuel pump membrane and maybe the plastic seats and balls are needed often to replace deteriorated 30-50 year old ones. It’s easier to replace the entire pump, membrane, and membrane seat, but more costly. When the top cap or post is unscrewed, the top check ball easily falls out and gets lost. Often a not working fuel pump only needs a ball, or a new membrane. The pump check balls can be tested by blowing and sucking through a piece of small rubber hose or fuel line. The lower line only blows and does not suck. The upper line only sucks and does not blow.

After the take-over of VeloSolex by Motobecane in 1974, the front hub changed from Atom to Leleu, in 1975.

1. The balls changed from 18 (9 per side) of 1/4″ balls (Atom) to 22 (11 per side) of 7/32″ balls (Leleu).

2. The outside of the cones became larger, or the inside of the cup became smaller for the smaller balls.

3. The front axle stayed the same, 9.5 x 1.0mm ≈ 3/8 x 26tpi. So did all of the axle nuts, spacers, washers.

After the take-over of VeloSolex by Motobecane in 1974, the rear hub changed from Atom to Leleu, in 1975.

1. The rear drum brake diameter, brake plate, and brake shoes changed from 83mm (Atom) to 80mm (Leleu).

2. The balls changed from 18 (9 per side) of 1/4″ balls (Atom) to 22 (11 per side) of 7/32″ balls (Leleu).

3. The outside of the cones became larger, or the inside of the cup became smaller for the smaller balls.

4. The rear axle stayed the same, 9.5 x 1.0mm ≈ 3/8 x 26tpi. So did all of the axle nuts, spacers, washers.

The 1968-86 Solex right inverted brake lever also controls the throttle. Either squeeze the brake or twist the grip to close the throttle. A cam in the grip pushes that little trigger (center photo) which pulls the throttle wire. The single-ended throttle and brake wires are ordinary “universal” moped inner wires.

1962-74 Solex 3800 USA Wiring:     this content courtesy of BrianSolex

Yellow – main power from stator to switch paddle (power for the lighting exits the stator via the serrated stud; there is no wire connection between the serrated stud and the switch. The switch paddle must contact the serrated stud when the switch lever is turned counter-clockwise)

Red – power from headlight switch paddle, through spring and bronze strip, to headlight.

Blue – power from bronze strip to tail light wire

Green – ground (wire from headlight to fuel pump screw) 

*Note: the 1966-72 S 3800 USA (and the S 3300) is similar, but instead of a ground wire, there is a ground tab mounted on the front of the fuel pump. The tip of the bulb touches the tab.

https://www.treatland.tv/solex-s/424.htm    Treatland.tv carries many Solex parts. A moped parts supermarket!

http://www.velocruz.com/home.htm    Velocruz Inc in Utah USA still carries most Solex S 3800 parts, and sometimes used bikes, but not any more new ones. Velocruz founder Tommie Matthews brought back the Velosolex to the USA in 1998, becoming the exclusive US distributor for Impex, the manufacturer in Hungary. Son Jeff Matthews runs Velocruz  now. The Hungarian S 3800, produced from 1999 to 2005, was well made, and nearly identical to the 1986-88 French S 3800.
