I got my penton out of a old milk barn (it was parked there after eight years of storage). I cleaned the carb. checked the plug and made sure fuel was getting the carb. It was time to start it. We took off and I jumped on kicked he into second gear ang it fired right up. I found out later on that I needed a new float and a new float needle whick i got now.
Now you are really flying. Congradulations and welcome to Pentomania.
