140kHz should not be too hard to produce. You could probably do it with delay routines and toggling pins, but the proper way to do it is with one of the hardware timers.

Page 99 of the atmega328p datasheet says this about timer 0:

It takes a bit of poking around with the registers to configure it right, but with this there should be no problem generating any frequency up to 8Mhz.
