Thanks Steve, JP, for the kind advice, will certainly get into the motor right away to see what is going on there.
Have always wanted a Penton since a child!
Neighbor(a Brit) took my older brother to all the observed trials & enduros in the area, but Divorce precipitated his moving away just as his son  & I were reaching the age to try to go with him. Even gas pitting seemed so Adventuresome & Cool!
So away moved the Greeves, the Sachs/DKW, and all the other "lovely bits" I had so admired. Jap stuff was all I ever rode after that.

Took a long time to get re-motivated to work on my 77 GS6 400, so here comes the dufus questions -
Anybody here know what to use to seal & paint these magnesium cases that I just sandblasted?
Brand names?
Thanks

Hello forum folk,
My name is Jay  I am up near Boston,MA
I am picking up a 77 GS6 400 in a week or so, told it is locked up from sitting, on at least first overbore, ran when put away - stored inside.with carbs off  (rebuilt ?)
May just be a good starter project for the dirt, now that my Moto Guzzi T3 is finished.
Hope to be able to get 'er back in the woods by Christmas
I am sure that I will need some forum help in this resurrection process
Any model specific issues to key in on?
Cheers Jay
