New Cg 250 engine mounting problem?

jatgm12 · 07-02-2024, 04:11 PM

So I have a shark 250 with a counter balanced engine. I got a new engine but the mounting points are very slightly back on the top and front. (Will attach pictures as soon as possible outside now fixing it and it won't upload. Sorry. Img won't work either idk.

Where can I get engine mounts for the non counter balanced engine? I assume that's what I ordered instead. The Mount on the lower bottom back, and back middle by starter motor are perfectly fine. I was hoping I could get the engine mounts for the remaining three ones online because it's going to be hard to fabricate them. Like I have the metal and the welder, but I really don't wanna have to do that. I'm probably gonna have to get a piece of wood approximately the same size as a mount. Ish. Drill one hole, screw it on, drill another hole screw that on, then the last one. Then trace it out on a piece of metal and cut it with an angle grinder and drill it with my drill. But I really would prefer to purchase the right ones and not do that.
That or weld metal onto the existing mount and drill the hole further down. Idrk. I could use some professional (ish) advice. Or advice of where to get the mounts.

We use cardboard to make patterns like that ,or a piece of plexiglass which works really well if there is too much detail ,shouldn’t take 15 minutes to draw out .

There are no factory made mount plates for what you need. Your frame is different at the front than a non balanced engine frame. Your frame curves forward at the front were the non balanced frame angles back to the engine. You will have to fabricate your new mounting plates yourself. Sorry.
