I don't think Solexes used the return line. Look at

speaking from experience here.

There should be. Look at http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/Images/9A-1.gif

The Solexes had one straight cable that hooked up to both "starter circuits".
You can probably fake something.

Here's a tip on the tranny plugs. Wrap some teflon plumber's tape around the
threads before you reinstall the plug (or use the liquid teflon). Electrolysis
between the steel plugs and the aluminum case can be a major pain, as you found
out. One time I had the car 20 miles from home, up on a rental hoist. I had
already drained the tranny and then couldn't get the fill plug out! DOH! Another
guy had a big breaker bar and we got it loose, but I was starting to get
worried.
