Default motor movement

our belt on our magnum broke, put a new one on got it all put together went to drive it and it would act like it was in low, in high gear. took the cover off and took a look at the clutch. and noticed the clutch would move with the engine atleast and 1.5-2 inches back making it so it bends the guard only when reved up you cand move it by just pushing on the motor with your hands at all. i could see a tiny little bit but not that much. we think a mounting bolt had broke.

so about how much should the engine move back when reved up?

on the mounting bracket in the front you can take the nut off, but when you reach around to feel for the bolt head you cant feel it at all. tried to pull the threaded end out and it wont come.

should there be a bolt head or how is it attached? is it threaded into the motor or what?

Thanx

Front motor mount(isolator) has threads molded into both sides does not go all the way through!, can and will separate. Replace if separated.

check your engine mounts. sounds like a broken one for sure. dont keep riding it as you'll break another belt for sure.
