Tip For Those With Motor Mount Slide Problems

[inspectorcritic]

How many have problems with motor mounts vibrating lose your motor drops down out of the place where hang it to accommodate the frame top chain now has lots slack will soon jump the track?

I have big M8-1.25 bolts in it still falls from place tighten it up this morning snap a bolt. While at Home Depot replacing bolt and trying to left motor back in place third time this ask guy name Tim works at the repair for wedge of wood he suggested a corner bracket and he did all the work timing and grinding it to stick it in place might be easier to take motor up then drop it straight down after getting proper shape, then steel bands make sure it stays there!

As you can see by this style of carb don't even have room for an air filter if it touches the frame then I got problems.

so your engine sits higher in the frame so you have more clearance so you have more room at the air filter?
you can get an offset intake or shorty to help with that or PVC hose.
the engines should set in the V on their own weight to be stable and they can't move from there and you tinker with air filter or muffler clearance after then.

Some bikes are better candidates for motorizing. The HT engines fit best in older, lugged English 3 speed type bike frames, they were originally made to fit perfectly in Chinese clones of the Raleigh 28" wheel size roadsters.
