1971 125Penton Sixdays REBORN

[RajRaj]

Hi all!!

I just want to share some of my extraordinary happy feelings right now... Yesterday night I started to work with my newly bought Penton. It hadn´t been started since 1977!! and parts are missing etc etc..
But any how, I started to check the engine and ignition and founded that the spark were gone..??![}:)], after a quick change of breaker and kond. I turned the wheel and a clear blue spark occured!!!! Wonderful..
Since the kick is missing I used the second gear trying to get it started, and after only a few meters the engine started!! I´m you guys understand the feeling I had when it happend.

After this the real work starts, gathering parts and as you all now in some cases it´s almost impossible to get what you want.
But Yesterday a friend of mine came to my work to get some parts and I told him about this lovely bike since I know that he in the 80´s worked for the Swedish KTM importer and he told me that he had lots of parts for theese bikes still lying arround in his fathers old garage. Ofcourse I saw a chance here to find some goodies. I don´t know what kind of parts he has but I told him that I´ll buy the lot and after this has been done I can make an inventory list for you to look at if there are something here that you need, we all have to help eachother right..[^]
 
I will keep you posted futher regarding everything!

Regards

RajRaj,
  Just to repeat what Don said welcome to The Penton Owners Group.  Is you bike a steel tanker or does it have the fiberglass tank?  Your progress sounds great.

It´s a fiberglass green one with Sachs engine.

Ragnar,
Good luck, I hope you have as much fun restoring your bike as I did mine.  I just completed a restoration on a 1971 steel tank (pictures are on this site under the title 'Almost ready for ISDTRR').

I have found many folks here with MUCH information who just can't wait to help.

Send some pictures of your progress.
