What is this Part from my kit?

[moun10biker]

I got this in my kit, and I have no idea what it is. I believe it is a tool to mount the engine, but I have never seen it used before. What is this?

it's a u-bolt front mount

much better than drilling

Sure is...What supplier did you buy your kit from. First time I've seen one included, but then again I've only bought 3 engines from two suppliers. The second and third included a wheel puller.

I bought my engine from bikeberry. Its a black flying horse 66cc. Thanks. I can just search on how to use the u bolt. Is it more secure than drilling?

If you drill, over time, there is a very, very good chance that your frame will snap in half...no I am not kidding.

Yes the u-bolt is much more secure

With the drill mount, then engine tends to torque to the drive side and screw up chain alignment

look...

that u bolt looks different than the one I have. So drilling is bad. Should I use loctite thread locker on the bolts and screws?

Hey use that check to get a new frame !!!!

Yes put locktitie on everything you can. I drilled my bike and the chain alignment from motor torque is right on. I put a hose clamp around my frame and muffler to realign till i get my new motor mount. Heck the new motor kits im buying come with the larger hole in the motor to accept larger frame bikes.
