Any Ideas For Homemade Engine Mounts?

That's well spoken! Theres so much of this junk stuff they sell to noobies, just for that given reason. To cause repeated failures & repeat customers because of the failures, new builders know no difference at the time they built there 1st bike. Only thing them big companies are after is money.

Hello! I cant afford new engine mounts and my studs keep breaking out. The stock mounts dont fit on my bike. I have a stock 80cc china kit with new exauhst and carburetor, none of which have given me problems. This motor mount keeps falling out and breaking studs, ive tried jb weld and all. I have a drill, sockets, hammers, and all the basic tools. I do have many drillbits though. Im looking for suggestions to replace the motor mount shown in the picture, anything helps!

I used the stuff that came with the kit and improvised engine has not dodged.

Using spacers on the front mount to raise the engine?

Like using long studs and what would normally be a rear mount. I've noticed more than one build using the chain tensioner for clearance rather than tension.

The link below goes to a little "tutorial" I wrote out because everyone wanted to know just how I built not only the front mount, but the entire bike as well, soup to nuts...lol...Enjoy...lol.

Whats the best bike for a 2 stroke?

Were miles away, but I bet our side of the railroad tracks are pretty similar. Before I found cranbrook in trash, I picked up a 74 schwinn world traveler & a 74-75 schwinn varsity people were throwing away, was going to build 1 of them, but long skinny front forks were scaring me. They can be...
