83 engine mounts?

s1120 · 01-20-2013, 07:48 AM

OK, so Ive been slowly getting more hours, and run time on this old cart I picked up a few months ago, and slowly finding more issues as time goes on. Well yesteday I was replacing the battery, and wile moving around I ended up lifting the engine a bit, and found that the mounts are bad. I had noticed there was no room between the engine and the driven clutch, and I could not get the belt off, but didnt think anything of it.. Well now I know its been moving around under there!! It also fits becouse its been acting weard going from low speed to high speed... Well now I know... So anyways.. I hear there are 4 mounts... I can only find three on the cart. there are two on each side where the cradle attaches to the axle trailing arms, and one up front in the center. Is there a 4th, or did I read that wrong???

The 83 is a one of a kind! 3 mounts only

OK cool!! I knew the 83 was the odd ball. Thanks for filling me in on the mounts. I'll stop looking for the 4th now :)

The best way to remove the rivets is with a sharp chisel and hammer .. or an air chisel if ya have one.

I do, and thanks for the tip!

I gave a few band clamps on it till I get them in. Works a little better.

I believe all the carts from 80-88 had 3 motor mounts. 76-79 carts with the internal starters had 4 mounts.
