What a great Christmas present to uwrap for 2017!

This New Engine Straight out of the Box is being tested!

• The engine was fitted to a 1970 Raleigh Runabout Moped. This is the first time in 50 years since the Raleigh Runabout was introduced that a new replacement engine has been succesfully fitted and tested making it an extremely proud moment for myself Moped Malc at Classic Moped Spares.
• We have been supplying parts to keep the older engines running for many years, but sometimes it may not be possible to salvage an engine that has been outside in poor conditions. These new engine also offer more power and smoother electronic ignition performance.

Velo Solex 2200 Fuel Tank Replacement

A customer recently had a problem where he needed to replace the Fuel Tank on his Velo Solex 2200 model as it was beyond repair.

• The Velo Solex 2200 had a metal tank compared to the later 3800 models. It would seem obvious to replace the 2200 fuel tank with the 3800 one however there are some differences in the way the fuel systems are connected up.
• To replace the Velo Solex 2200 Fuel Tank you will also need to replace the two pipes that connect to the fuel pump and you will also need to replace the 2200 fuel pump with the 3800 fuel pump. After this has been done you should be good to go.
• The replacement plastic tanks while not being as sturdy as a metal tank will ensure that you do not get rust particles in the fuel system and so are less likely to experience fuel pumping issues.
