I have forgotten - engine mount question
What do you call those engine mounts that ride on bearings on the rear axle I've seen them called floating mounts but I'm thinking they had a different name

Floating mount or axle mount , uni mount in the case of the Rupp mount.

Re: I have forgotten - engine mount question
I just got in a plastic seatback tank for a Rupp A- Bone Replica (Robron) that I am restoring. The front of the swing mount where it turns up hits the bottom left side of the tank. Is this a common issue ? What should I do ? Heat and mold tank out of the way ? Mount tank off center and cocked ? or grind away some of the mount ?
Thanks,
Kyle

Re: I have forgotten - engine mount question
Kyle, The swing mt tab shud be 3/4" from the right side tubing. if this is correct the mount will not hit the
5 qt plastic tank. if it was a fun kart, then the tab was welding toward center of kart for the 5 hp engine.
it you still have questions, give me a call today.

Here's the ones I made for my Rupp Chapparral Enduro. Couldn't see paying $400.00 for new.
