Hi Folks,
The forum has been really helpful -thanks. Here's my problem: I bought a used bike engine kit (2 cycle)and the rear mount seems to be missing or broken. What I need to know is whether the rear mount bracket is integral to the engine casting or if it slides over the mounting bolts on a new kit? I can figure out how to remove the old bolts that broke off flush, but just want to know if I can weld up something to slip over the new bolts in a c-shape for the tube contact surface, or is that part of the mount supposed to be welded to the engine housing/casting?
Thanks.
