'Heart of Gold’ put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch.” – Neil Young, comments written for the liner notes of his 1977 compilation, Decade.
I’ve been working on some Bing carburetors for early 1970’s Penton’s. I purchased two gaskets for the carbs off of eBay.
Please don’t package your gaskets using…painters tape to secure them to a piece of paper. I removed the tape… very carefully and yet still took some bits of the gasket with it.
This is a Penton Mudlark. Cool looking 2-stroke motorcycle. Not the hottest performer of its day but I like it. We have owned it since 1974 and it has been in storage since the mid 1980’s. Going to go through it, fix a few things and get it running.
Spent some time last weekend priming the Mudlark frame. Next weekend…paint.
