Blue Tanks etc.

Post by fortyplus »

I just bought an as new Model 90 EFNR. The serial # indicates it is an 83. The tank and top of the recoil starter are in Dark Blue with the factory decals. What is the story behind the switch to blue because by 84 they seemed to return to black and then there were the black plastic tanks and then a return to blue on the last models made. There seem to be very few pictures of any models in blue - when did they come in and stop (if not 84 model year?). The blue " theme extends to the cover of the handbook and the carrying bag.
