jerry, I have had problems getting the gas cap off some of my solexes they swell up over time,,, oil, heat,(non flame), and finally, just force it,,, I've never broken one, once its off you can lightly sand the cap, test fitting it, till its good as new. I'm in St. Louis Mo. may have parts you need close by.

MOTORIZED BICYCLES:   help please posted by: bill on 5/27/2010 at 7:10:24 AM
I have been reading over the messages posted on this site. They seem very helpful. So I built my first motorized bike with an 80cc zb black slant head engine kit mounted on a 26' falcon gt (beach cruiser) . Looks very cool and runs ok but I want to get more speed out of it. Started out going about 23-25mph max. And through messing with the carb adjuster screw got to about 27mph on straight away. Any suggestions ??? I also bought a 12v headlight generator kit of ebay but it rarely works so i want to attach it directly to the engine, do i need any special parts? Is this a bad idea? will it hurt the engine or rob performance? Any ideas will be sincerely appriciated.

This website can answer any ?? you will have. You have to register &&& " introduce yourself " in that particular forum. Then READ,,,,READ,,,,,READ.
Also, basically, the light generator kit is NOT a good choice. Go battery powered.

I had a 1949 Monark supertwin in 1967. My mom lent it to her friend's son at college. My mom died shortly thereafter and I never saw the moped again. Would you be interested in selling it? Phil in Florida.

Ok I now have some more info. This was a custom made bike from the 60's using a Schwinn tandem frame and a Solex 3800 motor. What I need is a good running used 3800 motor if any one has one.
Thanks

If you go to this website, which searches ALL Craigslists,, type in Solex, or Velosolex, & you will get some results. Narrow the results down by geophrical area at the top of the results listed. Sometimes you will find a complete Solex for as cheap as just a motor.
