Hello Brian,

We know for long time your interesting work with Solex in EUA, and we are happy, you find us.
We are helping some friends whith mecanic tips to run Solex.
There are quite a few Solexists here in Portugal but not united (yet) to run the Solex every week, and it is a little complicated to move along with this forum.
...but we are here and you find us. That is very important.

Best regards

Paulo Mota

Paulo, Thank you for your kind words!

Best regards!
Brian

Hello Brian,

Can you help me?
Here in the forum, a guy has is solex motor runing backword. I've seen somewere that is possible but i d'ont know much about this possibility.Have you any information about that?

Thanks

PM

Yes, it is quite possible for a two-stroke engine like a Solex to run backwards. Most likely, though, his ignition timing is not properly set. I see this quite often because most mechanics adjust the ignition points (vis platinees) to a specific gap (opening). But, of course, you know that the ignition points must be adjusted so that they just begin to open as the "rupture" marks on the flywheel (volant magnetique) and the engine line up, while rotating the flywheel clockwise.

Thanks Brian,

That was what i've said to him, to ajust the ignition point with the motor mounted on the cycle and do "pedaling work", haha....

Thanks again

Paulo Mota
