I have a Dax 80 that I broke the front of the motor where it mounts to the frame. Rather than buy and new motor and have to go though the break-in again, I'm considering a total rebuild and replacing the bottom crank case body. This is the part i'm thinking about getting http://www.bikeberry.com/66cc-80cc-bottom-crank-case-body.html. Are there any other parts I may need for the rebuild? other sources?

look on ebay but its best that you order parts from who you bought the motor not all parts work on all motors

Same You would spend more time and money alone in parts then a new replacement

that is a concern. just how diffident could they be? could it be a easy fix with dremmel or whatever, or can they be miles apart?

Drill two holes on the engine front engine mount (vertical) just before the original stud location (drill hole 90 degree vertical from original stud engine mount holes) and then use some angle iron to attach to the new mount points. You'll have a new engine mount that is cheaper and more reliable.

My Dax has this fix.
