      Hi All. Could someone please advise me as to the paint colour on the above motor.

      I have just received new decals and want to make sure the paint colour is correct…….

      I get the impression it could be  dull silver.

      Thanks in advance for your help.

        You would be correct. Everything is painted
        dull silver except the fuel petcock, fuel line,
        and crab banjo fitting which were nickel plated.
        Most of that doesn’t show because of the covers.

          Thanks Tubs for your reply, but unfortunately I don’t know what you mean by “crab banjo fitting”……could you please explain?

          Thanks again

            The carb fuel fitting on the left is referred to as the Banjo fitting
            and would be correct for a Scout. Also correct for 37 Pal and
            the early1938 Pal’s #4253. Later #4253 motors used a 90 degree
            compression fitting like the carb on the right. Several other
            motors also used the Banjo fitting but it was pretty much gone by
            1938, the early Pal, #4253 being one exception. The 1938 -41 Pal
            #4203 would have the a 90 degree compression fitting. Over the
            years parts can get moved around to keep motors running.
            By the way I wouldn’t expect the paint to last too long on the
            exhaust pipe if you plan on running it unless you use some of that
            high temp exhaust manifold paint.

              Thanks Tubs for your reply. Your explanation and excellent photo is most helpful

              and thanks for your suggestion re heat resisting pain for the exhaust……good point!

              Best Wishes for Christmas  and 2024 and thanks again  on behalf of myself (and I’m sure other members ) for your help and advice over the year!

              PS I guess that lovely lake we see in your videos is iced over now.

                Here is a Ho Ho Ho back at ya. While years ago there would be fishing and snow
                machines on the lake long before now, the lake hasn’t any ice on it today. It did start
                to freeze over but it warmed back up and what was there has melted. The climate
                has really changed in that part of our country. Summer and winter.
