The Red Dinosaur is painted Rusto-Regal Red, and it is a very close match to
Poppy Red. I sprayed everything but the face of the bulkhead behind the
seats and the color is dead on. It does fade nicely after about 5 years.

RE: Solex's. I rebuilt one carb from what I had here and tried it out
today. I had trouble getting it to idle, and it back-fired when letting off
of the gas. The Weber is back on. What I found was that there are two
variations to the solex. One has the economy circuit and the other is
blanked. There are only 4 gaskets in the solex. One under the top cover,
one at the accelerator pump, one between the throttle section and the float
chamber, and one very little one under the accelerator pump nozzle block.
So some day when I find time I guess I'll have another look at the Solex.
Until then the weber is just to dam easy to deal with.
