Welded clear brackets for the brake, now is the fork ready for painting!. Projectet is almost complete, remains to final finish

I have now at last got the engine to function properly! The quality of "China copy" of solex engine is beneath all criticism. have had to replace the piston, fuel pump, screws, fix the clutch etc.. but fortunately it fit original parts from solex. have been doing some test rides, but there is no speed monster directly! peaks around 20-25kmh, but it is enough for it to qualify as a moped. now running perfectly legal with a traffic Insurance
What is left to do is a comfortable bike seat in the old style, and an old leather saddlebag

New comfortable saddle for the season, and bike bag in old style

Hello Max350.
I notice you have a photo of a 4800 copy of a solex bike even though you posted it in 2014. I have the Black N Roll model which is out of production .
I am looking for spare parts or even a place where I can get hold of a new engine? I need a new light coil and a new flywheel for electronic ignition.
I really need to get it up and running. Any ideas!!!!
Could I swap the engine for a 3800 as they are practically identical apart from the electronic egnition.
look forward to your reply
Thanks Edward
