Battery depleted?

@@JustbuildTW yea it was the batterys so thanks

@@MIKEYBOI46 Take the batteries out if you don‘t use the helmet every day. mine deplete otherwise too fast even if not using. Thanks

@@JustbuildTW thanks

Looking as solid as it can be😉

Hi Tony. Thanks a lot for your comments and warming words. I am really pleased, that you like it and appreciate your inputs here. Hope you find energy to sometime complete a bike. It‘s not always about perfection, it‘s about passion and whether you left everything you had to give……The overwhelming feeling at the end can‘t anyone take away from you. Good luck

@@JustbuildTWThank you so much.

Thanks for your input. Your comment is interesting as I did some research on this at an earlier stage of my project. On most of the leaflets back from the sixties , the solex cylinder seems to be black? I don‘t know whether they had painted them, or if the cast iron was coming with some color additives? Thanks

@@JustbuildTW Les cylindres ainsi que les culasses n'on jamais été peints sur toutes les séries de Solex. Les cylindres sont en fonte brut car a l'époque aucun traitements ne tenais.

Great vigilance of you😀FP1 is the queen in my workshop with all the accessories from back then, there is nothing one could not accomplish with it. The luthy LF10 is fantastic looking, precise and strong as hell built machine. Do you have good documentation about it? Thanks for your subscription and comment👍

@@JustbuildTW hi , the luthy was a rare find ! In many decades I had never seen one , having moved many 1000,s of tonnes of machine tools around the globe I grew a very special fondness for the Swiss build quality & usable design. This mill was bought new and used by a very skilled Italian man who lived in south London.I bought it from his grandson through a mutual friend . It was in a filthy condition after many years of being sat unused. Sadly I have little information on the machine , I have renewed the drive belts , changed all the oils and guessed the grades. I’m waiting for a few parts to complete the re-wire and I can make the first cuts .I have searched for an FP1 for over twenty years but keep missing them , the luthy is also very nice , I have written to the LUTHY company ( en française ) but no reply .

Thank you back to Brazil 🇧🇷 Great to have you with us👍

Spot on, good option indeed thanks. And when polishing, the heat needs to be observed closely, otherwise the plastic will melt or deform. I had to be carefully

@@JustbuildTW keep up the great work. I am extremely Impressed. Definitely been recommending your channel.

Thank u, it motivates if the shown is appreciated and thanks for being a part of my work

Thanks you👍

Hi, thanks. Yep, I understand your point. I was thinking regarding this back and forward. The washer also keeps the painting rather intact as the washer doesn’t turn (normally) on the surface directly. Along the way, sometimes you’ve got to go for a way, even though there are different ways and maybe better ways. If I would do an other Solex, I would change some things here and there. Thanks for your comment.

@@JustbuildTW As said, I know why you do it like this. Please build another Solex and improve it. I like your movies.

Lieben Dank. Ja, jetzt wirds wirklich spannend. Ich freue mich auch auf das letzte finale Video😃

Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you like it. I simply installed the two halves and marked the high spots on the lower half. After taking them apart, I heated the centre column a bit and used a steel tube that tightly fits the outer diameter of the pin to bend it in the direction of the marking. Did this 2-3 times until they matched. Hope it helps. Good luck and have fun.

@@JustbuildTW That helps a lot, many thanks. Only, when you say 'heated a bit', how hot does it need? Are we talking dull red, or nothing like that?

No, just a bit heat helps, but not really necessary. Too much heat is not good for the suroundings and red glow will destroy the bell😉More important is, not to bend the pin back and forward….it would brake.

@@JustbuildTW I'll be careful. Thanks again. Wish I had your skills, would love to restore my Solex to as-new condition.

I’m sure you have the skills somewhere ready to activate. Just build and don’t hesitate to ask. Have fun

Thank you for your comment. Your words did not miss the target. Highly appreciated. I’m glad you like it. Thanks

@@JustbuildTW just glade I found your channel its extremely good.

Indeed….that’s what its all about😉

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Hi, sure-I use glass beads 90-150microns! Have fun

That depends on the engine construction and oil lubrication system! Not the case here, as the oil only comes from one side. The other side is completely sealed off anyway. With the closed bearing side you improve the lubrication, as the oil doesn’t spin through. It also widely depends on whether you have the bearing running in an oil bath like on four strokes. Second, I don’t know what you mean with new cover/washers? They are exactly where they need to be and in the right amount as measured to have the things where they need to be.

And by the way, the crankcase seal on this engine doesn’t touch the crankshaft at all, there is no friction at that point, as it seals off on the other side together with the roller (outside of the crankcase), and that part is greased. Not every engine is same same. It takes a lot of time and brainstorming to first understand the engine before you even start touching the first tool. Thanks

@@JustbuildTW Если у тебя в 2Т сальник не смазывается с другой стороны маслом из другого узла,то смазка к нему попадает только со стороны картера,через подшипник.Поэтому он должен быть открытым с двух сторон. Про крышку-у тебя первая крышка не села до конца,и ты не стал разбираться в причине,просто заменил на старую,которую клеил.

@@JustbuildTW Согласен,в каждой конструкции свои нюансы.Но эти Велосолексы явно создавал наркоман после дозы)).Что двигатель,что карбюратор-это что-невероятное))

As I said, the system is closed on one side and, the seal has no touch to the turning crankshaft, so no lubrication needed there as no friction exists. The roller seals against the seal only for dirt from the roller, but not against oil-that’s the design of the engine. The oil is kept back further up in the housing after a flat seal and the shim before the bearing…..What first lid (minute?)?? I havn’t used any glue and I havn’t used anything old and everything sits where it should as I have measured the depth of each seat. I really recommend you to study the first generation of the velosolex 3800er engine througly to see the details. If you wish, send me a clear drawing of the points your questioning so we talk about the same and I can proof facts. Such details are difficult here. Thanks

Thank you for commenting. I’m glad you like it. Indeed, 2 strokes leave a smoky trace. However, it’s all about cultural asset. Sound and the smell keep remind me on my youth. Thanks

@@JustbuildTW Schön, dass du zurückschreibst! Ich fahre derzeit eine Piaggio Liberty 150, die über eine Kraftstoffeinspritzung verfügt und sehr schön ist, aber ich vermisse den Klang und Geruch eines Zweitakters. Vielleicht bekomme ich eines Tages noch eines. Ich mag deinen Kanal!

⁠@@miketayseVielen Dank und viel Glück-hoffentlich gibt es dann mal wieder einen Zweitaktmotor, nur zum Spass 😊

Great Memories, thanks for sharing. 👍

Thanks for your comment. Since I don't know the exact alloy of the cast iron, it is difficult to define the correct application of the welding process. I assume that the carbon content is too high (>4%) and the weld would not be clean and would therefore become brittle. If I had this information, TIG welding could be considered, but only if the corresponding heat process was followed. Do you know the exact material composition of this engine?

Thanks for your comment. The little wire that should be there to hold the cable in place is not on the ignition cable itself but there is a sleeve over the cable around that area to make sure that wire never intrudes into the ignition cable itself. It shall be fixed to that little hook with something that doesn‘t meld. In the years back then it was truly fixed with a piece of stainless steel cable. Thanks and all the best.

Hi Jesus Torres. Thanks for your warming words. I‘m happy my video reached you all the way to beautiful Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. It‘s a delight to see you appreciating my work. All the best to you and keep enjoying life.

And thanks for being part of my still growing YT Channel

Hi, hope it helps, I‘m glad you like it. There is also a movie of the complete teardown. Keep as much of the original parts as possible…..even if it takes time to refurbish them. Good luck to you, greetings to 🇧🇷

@@JustbuildTW thanks, hugs !

You are very welcome. Have fun and good luck 👍

Bei mir Zuhause

Sehr gerne!

I knew they were spread widely. I didn’t know though, that they also made it all the way to South America-that is 👍 Thanks for the info

Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I‘m glad you like. Just get started, step by step and you‘ll get into it. Good luck and have fun. Greets from Switzerland

If I may give you an advice. Try to keep as much of the original parts as possible and refurbish them. Repro parts almost always need additional work to make them fit and are mostöy of bad quality.

@@JustbuildTW Hello thank you for the advice everything seems good except for cables and tyres tubes i will follow you along step by step really interesting project great to have you to learn from thanks again.

Merci bien.

Merci pour le commentaire. Je suis content que ça te plaise. À bientôt

Thanks for your comment. Actually JB weld is available over here and it would have been a no brainer with JB. As I used to work in the past a lot with fiber glass and vacuum processing, I had everything available and ready. However, it was/is more work for sure.

@@JustbuildTW Probably cheaper as well! Love all the cool measuring tools!

for sure🤷‍♂️me too, built to last and highly precise

Nice imaginations. When I started it, the smell reminded me of myself, when I was 14 working on a puch…..priceless! Thanks for commenting

Thank you very much. Yes, but it is crucial to keep as much as possible from the original stuff as the repro parts often don‘t fit or are of bad quality.

Thanks for your comment 🙏

yep 👍

@@BensCinema Vielen Dank für die netten Worte. Verbrennermotoren werden von der Technik her in Zukunft etwas ganz Besonderes sein. Wer das Wissen hat, sollte es bei Möglichkeit an die nächsten Generationen weitergeben.

Na verdade já existe eletrodo a arco elétrico, trabalhado só nescecita um pré aquecimento na área soldada muitas vezes pode até ser usinado👍

Thank you, I‘m glad you like it

Many thanks. This is certainly not the engine you want to buy as a good basis for a restoration. However, it shows what is possible even with a complete blockage. I was surprised, that the crankshaft was still in that of a good shape. Thanks

Thanks a lot, appreciated.

Danke, schön hat es gefallen! Ein Motor wieder zum Leben zu erwecken ist eine Genugtuung.

Very welcome, I’m glad you like it

I appreciate your comments! It encourages me to continue. The name "mechanical surgeon" butters up my ego :)

Many thanks and thanks for watching.
