    Motor mount bolts .... to what?

    I was missing a motor mount bolt, so I ordered #3 and #4 from this fische.



    What does the motor mount bolt....bolt to? The missing bolt is directly under the stator. I'm not with the bike right now, but, I don't think it goes into #2. I've been told that it goes into a trapeziod shaped threaded retaining washer that is recessed into the inside of the frame. If so, it's not shown on the fische. I ordered #4, but I was sent a regular lock washer. I thought I was getting the trapeziod one.

    Thanks

    What you need is in the crankcase picture: #23, 25, 27, & 28. The teardrop nut is held in place until the bolt catches it.

      Well......that's a silly place to put 'em.

      Thanks man, time to reorder. Cheap enough though.

        Larry, I've got at least three or four of the teardrop shaped engine mount "nuts" sitting in a box, along with a bunch of other engine mounting hardware. I just looked at them yesterday while tidying up in the garage.

        Let me know!

          Thanks Brian,

          Wait....you cleaned up the garage, how will you ever find anything ?!?!

          I already ordered the motor mounts and teardrop nuts, washers, etc. Only $18.00, so, no big deal.

          I did get my cam chain tensioner gasket, o-rings and oil seal, Along with the new steering stem bearings though.........

          The cam chain tensioner has made a nice grungy oil mess over time and while I have the carbs out, figured might as well take care of it.

          Now all I gotta do is try and get that stupid idle air screw tip outta that teeny tiny hole in #4 carb throat. It ain't gonna be fun.

            There was a thread a couple weeks ago started by Hoomgar that went into removing the broken tips lodged in the carb throat. Do a search either by topic or by Hoomgar on the member's list. Complete with pictures!

              Yeah, read that. It's the same principle, but the carbs are a different configuration. His was a straight shot. I have to get to the top of the carb throat for mine and it'll be at 90 degrees.

              I'll get it though. I'm relentless and stubborn !! Inch by inch, anything's a cinch.

              Thanks.
