Help! Huge Problem with front Engine mount...
Soooo, my dax70cc vibrated itself off the front engine mount today. Basically the bolts and plate were still intack and it just popped itself off the threaded studs. Originally I thought it would be a nice simple rescrew, but after I looked at the engine it turned out to be much worse. The threading inside the engine mount block is completely stripped, and small portions of the aluminum are missing. It looks like the studs took some of the engine with it when it popped out.
I dont know what to do from here. I've thought about just trying to loctite the studs back, but I dont know if that would be a good solution. Welding the mounting plate to the engine block? Really in a jam here fellas, this bike is my major form of commute.
