Hello everyone, Well I checked my in question coil out today and as per Dave McCullough values mine was bad I had 2.5 ohms on the primary side (Good) and " get ready for this " 1.3 Milliohm's the secondary side (Bad)should be 7500 ohms. Luckily a friend ( not a Penton guy) had one laying around his shop...Cleaned off all the old dirt and have great grounds all the way around and best of all a very big spark. running out of time tonight to recheck timing, maybe tomorrow. Also whats with moving the points opening mark on the flywheel a 1/4 to the right of the former mark?

Thanks Jim

Good Morning, I'm guessing your looking for a set of shocks for Earls forks correct. I have a set of Betor forks that came off a 73 DKW hornet if that is what your looking for.

Good Morning John, I'm about 3 miles north of what is called "Auburn Center" near Rt. 422 and Rt. 44. Wonder if this is same location???. I can see how they could have raced somewhere near here. Its half built up
now. Thanks. Anyone with an approximate location please chime in.

Thanks Jim

Good evening Mr. Kern, I had a nice conversation with my cousin's son that works for Wiseco and is hot on the trail of old catalogs in house that would list Pistons,Rings and Wrist pins that Wiseco manufactured for Pentons Motorcycles.I have no doubt he will come up with some solid info....

Good evening John, We met at Pine lakes this past summer.I picked up a 71 berkshire this spring from South Caroline for $300.00. It had a bad crank, so I purchased a rebuild one from Al B. I was told it was raced in the Famed Blackwater 100 by the gentlemen I purchased it from. I have no proof...But I'm running with that story. Not interested in selling, just passing the story along. Good Luck in your hunting.
