Re: Two wheels good.

Screwed a freshly rebuilt velosolex engine to my work bench outside. Fired it up without an exhaust and god it's loud. No leaks, fuel or oil and sounds good. An added bonus was the vibrations from it cleared all the crap of my workbench and deposited it on the floor. Who needs cleaners🤣🤣. I'd add a ...
