Velo Solex Times Two
They came home today.
![]() The yellow one is a 1977 4600. It was originally sold by a bike shop in Aurora, IL. ![]() It's in pretty good shape, save for some lighting issues. Starts right up and runs really well The black one isn't a 1964 2200/3300 as advertised but not a deal breaker. ![]() Until I locate the serial number, it'll be a 1966 to 1983 3800. It looks like parts are missing but I have them all. This one has a perforated fuel pump diaphragm and lighting issues. A new diaphragm will be here next week. It does have a very strong spark. Guess how I know. ![]() Side by side in the driveway. ![]() The 4600 is wearing the air cleaner cover, blower cover, and fuel tank of the 3800. The originals are white. It is also supposed to have an engine guard mounted. I have that, too. Washed and in the garage. ![]() I bet I put five miles on the 4600 tonight. It was a hoot. ![]()
