If you do a search for Broken motor mount you will find several threads on the subject. Several different solutions to your problem, I wouldn't take them all as gospel, use your best judgement, not everyone on this site uses common sense, or gives good advice.

Seriously? I have to take the whole engine off. This is already a lot more work than planned and have only rode the bike for 10kms.
Going to have to get a friend around with tools to do it because I won't be able to do it.

Can I not just screw the bolts in and place a clamp on it without moving engine??

Welcome to the world of motored bikes. There a lot of fun, and cheap transportation,there is also regular upkeep that has to be done. On the forum page there is a thread addressed to newbies with some very good information on how to keep your bike in safe operating condition. Tightening bolts on a regular basis is one of them, if the previous owner had taken care of your bike you wouldnt be going through this.

If the studs aren't broken off then yes you can.

I am learning that very very quickly unfortunately.

There are no studs there, not even broken ones in the holes. I would assume that I can screw the studs into the holes then bolt the the clamps onto the bike frame.

Yes, but there is a U shaped block that goes between the back of the engine and the seat post.

Yeah so I ended up going round to my dads, he has a few old motorised bikes laying around for parts. Managed to take the rear engine mount off with reasonable ease so will be putting it onto mine tomorrow
