Hey Larry, Where is your stuff located on E-Bay?

 

Look for the guys with gray or receeding hairlines, they'll know what a Penton is.

 

Didn't you recently bid or sell a Penton on E-bay. Your ID looks familiar, How did that go??

 

Thanks for all the info. and help. I fixin to hand it over to a local shop. I have only limited knowledge of the 2 stroke beast and their pesky carburators. The only problem now is how to get rid of the gasoline odor on everything i own??

 

Thanks for the reply Paul, however the filter doesn't seem to be the prob. I made the needle adjustment(down)to lean the mix and got 'er started but wont run for more than a minute then stalls. It still seems to be flooding and slobbering all over the place. How are the floats properly adjusted?

 

Hey Kip! i am sensing frustration in your search for a pipe for that 400. Would it be totally out of the question to fabricate one? I remember back in High School Metal shop, we were building expansion chambers for our Yamaha's Suz's, Kaw's, go-karts, lawn mowers and everything else. We didn't really have a pattern, we just knew what we wanted it to look like. I'd bet if you had an old beat up one or even detailed measurments that a good sheet metal man could easily fabricate one. Just a thought. Good luck!!

Congradulations Burke! you've come to the right place. I also have a 71' 125 and have found the people here to be a wealth of information and help. Hang in there.

Great Pics Gary, My problem  is that the  "U" shaped portion of frame behind the seat had been cut clean off at some time, for what reason i'm not sure. I am trying to get an idea for reconstructing that portion.
 Thanks Gary

 

also a picture or description of kick stand

 

Hello Mark, I saw the program on the Speedvision (F4-11)network show called Bike Week. I have a C-Band satelite system so i 'm not sure if times are the same as networks. Try Speedvision Network website @ //WWW.speedvision.com (i think)

 

Thanks Kip and DKWracer, the forks must have been 35MM, i did loosen the caps a bit to see if that would help and sure enough it was loose. I did however have to remove them to remove the clamp. My son told me not to remove the caps or else the springs would shoot out. The threads seem to be OK.
Happy New Year!!!

 

Thanks Kip, i'm not sure if the forks are 32 or 35 mm, i was using a block of wood and hammer and that puppie wasn't even winking. I've been soaking the parts with liquid wrench and i'll remove the caps just to be sure.

 

Actually, the ignition is one of the motoplat type with an aluminum flywheel, I suspect that they are electronic and have no points to adjust. What now?

Thanks Chris for the info. I think we'll keep the bike and continue to at least maintain its condition. I really am proud of this bike and I Salute the Penton owners for the preservation of these machines.

 

Congrats. Roger, i too am a new PENTON owner and am having the same kind of trouble getting my 125cc 6Day to start. "Larry"
